Abstract

Several decades after the invention of the rechargeable Li‐ion battery, countless innovations from both the research and industry communities have led to placing the secondary battery at the heart of the electrification revolution in recent years. Mathematical and numerical models have been trusted companions in advancing the technology to help guide design improvements or to gain insight when physical measurements are impossible to perform. Starting with the breakthrough porous electrode theory (PET) model proposed by Newman and co‐workers in 1975 (Newman and Tiedemann, AIChE Journal, 1975, 21, 25–41), many authors have improved the formulation from a variety of perspectives. The novel aspects of the model we propose in this paper expand on this long stream of PET formulations and aim to address modeling needs that, to the authors' knowledge, have not been yet considered. The proposed formulation is characterized by the following concurrent features: (1) a full 3D description of the macroscale behavior and 1D microscale in spherical coordinates (Pseudo 4D formulation [P4D]) accounting for geometric details of the cell architecture such as imperfect spiral jellyrolls in cylindrical cells; (2) multiple concurrent particle chemistries to model the microscale lithiation/delithiation behavior at every macroscale element integration point, leading to a multiscale (FE2$$ {\mathrm{FE}}^2 $$) approach; (3) a fully coupled thermal‐electrochemical‐mechanical stress interaction due to lithiation/delithiation induced swelling and external confinement; (4) spatially‐dependent porosity evolutions due to swelling of the particles in the porous electrodes; (5) electrolyte flow in the porous regions and overfill spaces via Darcy‐based flow including partial saturation of the active regions; (6) detailed descriptions of individual battery components such as the electrodes, separator, and current collectors with the possibility of "connecting" the different components through contact definitions; (7) fully linearized macro‐microscale coupling behavior allowing for large time increments in an implicit time integration scheme for a scalable and computationally effective numerical solution. A number of numerical examples including validation against experimental data are performed to demonstrate the predictive power of the proposed model and its efficiency for industrial applications.

23. Leadership Strategies for Department Chairs and Program Directors: A Case Study Approach.

Author

Comer, Robert W., Haden, N. Karl, and Taylor, Robert L.

Abstract

Reviews leadership challenges and management concepts in academic dentistry as they were applied in a case-based faculty development workshop, in order to provide a foundation for three cases that follow in subsequent articles. The workshop was structured to address leadership challenges relating to managing people, mission management, conflict recognition, and conflict management. (EV)

46. A Case Study of Information Gathering for Policy Decisions in Public Schools.

Author

Taylor, Robert L. and Helmer, F. Theodore

Abstract

A survey of client-systems in a medium-sized public school district is reported with emphasis on how data on perceptions and needs can be gathered. The study shows how the data were used to influence policy decisions and clearly defines the obligations of decision makers to be better informed and responsive to the public sector. (JMF)
