Electrochemical Simulation with Abaqus for Li-ion Batteries

This course introduces you to cell-level multiscale, multiphysics analysis that allows modeling and assessment of the electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries based on porous electrode theory, the thermal effects from various losses (associated with the ionic diffusion, electrical conduction, entropy change and intercalation) and the mechanical effects due to lithiation-induced swelling in a fully coupled manner. The knowledge gained will allow you to further benefit from the capability by enabling optimization of cell design and performance with respect to a slew of parameters virtually. The lectures introduce and illustrate the key aspects, usage and the basic theory behind this advanced capability with examples while the workshops provide hands-on experience in setting up the complete model and performing the electrochemical analysis of a 3D cell.
