Battery open-circuit voltage is not purely chemical
Andrea Giudici, Christoph Pohl, Alberto Salvadori +3
Open-circuit-voltage (OCV) curves are commonly treated as intrinsic chemical properties of electrode materials. However, this view is incomplete. In ion-insertion batteries, OCV al…
Incorporating multiscale mechanics in lithium-ion battery models
Andrea Giudici, Andres F. Galvis, Smita Sahu +4
Lithiation-induced swelling in lithium-ion batteries generates stresses not only within active particles, but also across the surrounding non-active matrix, electrodes, and cell st…
Gas-induced bulging in pouch-cell batteries: a mechanical model
Andrea Giudici, Colin Please, Jon Chapman
Over the long timescale of many charge/discharge cycles, gas formation can result in large bulging deformations of a Lithium-ion pouch cell, which is a key failure mechanism in bat…
Mechanical stresses in pouch cells: a reduced order model
Andrea Giudici, Jon Chapman, Colin Please
In a pouch cell battery, the intercalation of lithium ions into the active particles means the electrodes want to expand. However, since the electrodes are attached to stiff curren…
Multiscale modelling and homogensation of fibre-reinforced hydrogels for tissue engineering
M. J. Chen, L. S. Kimpton, J. P. Whiteley +5
Tissue engineering aims to grow artificial tissues \emph{in vitro} to replace those in the body that have been damaged through age, trauma or disease. A recent approach to engineer…
