FAILURE MECHANISMS IN SEALED BATTERIES: PART II.
Abstract
Work with battery literature has shown the necessity for dividing information problems into two categories: (1) using published information to answer questions and (2) using published information as a basis for asking questions. Research into both categories was started during this report period. Decisions were made for arranging a new electrode-making facility, and needed equipment was selected and ordered. Final modifications to measurement equipment were completed for life tests on sealed batteries under simulated orbiting conditions. work was commenced on failure analysis procedures with a discussion and definition of the terms: failure, failure mode, failure determinant, failure mechanism, and failure analysis procedure. Silver solubility data are described. Accelerated tests are discussed from three technical viewpoints: the empirical, the statistical, and the physical. A theoretical approach to thermal analysis is outlined. (Author)
