Damage Tolerance and Durability of Structural Power Composites
Abstract
The work is focused on structural battery composites and their constituents. The work performed is divided in three areas: Multiphysics model development; characterisation of material properties of the structural battery composite and its constituents; and realisation of the structural battery full cell and implications thereof. Design and analysis of structural battery composites require access to Multiphysics models. For this purpose, a computational framework that considers the coupled electro-chemo-mechanical processes in a structural battery has been developed. Input data for such models are vast and we have taken on the challenge to characterise some of the more fundamental material properties. Finally, we build and characterise the multifunctional performance of a structural battery full cell. The structural battery composite demonstrates unprecedented multifunctional properties. Some more in-depth descriptions of this work are presented below. All-in-all the work has resulted in 11 journal papers and 5 conference papers completely or partly funded by this AFOSR/EOARD grant. Some of the work has been done in collaboration with The Royal Institute of Technology, KTH,) with Prof. Dan Zenkert and his team.
