FAILURE MECHANISMS IN SEALED BATTERIES.
Abstract
A system for storing, indexing, and retrieving battery information is being developed by engineers having a variety of technical interests. Monthly accessions lists with abstracts, with descriptive data, and with handling choices are circulated to the engineers. A following interview with an information specialist provides a flexible but united system for individuals. This report also (a) recommends improved measurements of battery variables, (b) describes equipment and processes for an electrode-making facility, (c) records preliminary data on simulated orbital tests, and (d) suggests a failure analysis procedure for silver-zinc cells. Theoretical work on Accelerated Life Tests is attempting to correlate battery degradation with changes in the coefficients of generalized physical stress-strain relationships. A section on thermal and heat transfer studies proposed that battery temperatures can be predicted or explained on the basis of thermal capacitance-resistance networks. (Author)
