Title: Concentration dependent properties lead to plastic ratcheting in thin island electrodes on substrate under cyclic charging and discharging

Abstract

It is known that the mechanical properties of electrodes in lithium-ion batteries, such as modulus, yield stress, and interfacial strength, can depend strongly on lithium concentration. Furthermore we show that a thin film island electrode with properties dependent on lithium concentration naturally undergoes plastic ratcheting with accumulative deformation and failure during cyclic charging and discharging. Some key predictions from numerical simulations are validated by galvanostatic tests. Strategies to avoid ratcheting include limiting the electrode size and/or selecting a balanced combination of concentration dependent materials properties.

Concentration dependent properties and plastic deformation facilitate instability of the solid-electrolyte interphase in Li-ion batteries

Journal Article Liu, Yuanpeng ; Guo, Kai ; Wang, Changguo ; ... - International Journal of Solids and Structures

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) often suffer from capacity fading and poor cyclic performance due to mechanical degradation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Here we perform numerical simulations and theoretical analysis to elucidate the role of plasticity in wrinkling and ratcheting behaviors of an SEI/electrode system. A coupled diffusion and finite deformation framework is formulated and numerically implemented as a user-element subroutine (UEL) to describe transient lithium diffusion and accompanying elastic–viscoplastic deformation of the electrode. It is found that concentration dependent properties and plastic deformation facilitate wrinkling in such a system. A wrinkled morphology may further lead to ratcheting and related failuremore »« less

Effects of concentration-dependent elastic modulus on Li-ions diffusion and diffusion-induced stresses in spherical composition-gradient electrodes

Journal Article Zhang, Kai ; Li, Yong ; Zheng, Bailin - Journal of Applied Physics

The composition-gradient electrode material is considered as one of the most promising materials for lithium-ion batteries because of its excellent electrochemical performance and thermal stability. In this work, the effects of concentration-dependent elastic modulus on Li-ions diffusion and diffusion-induce stress in the composition-gradient electrodes were studied. The coupling equations of elasticity and diffusion under both potentiostatic charging and galvanostatic charging were developed to obtain the distributions of both the Li-ions concentration and the stress. The results indicated that the effects of the concentration-dependent elastic modulus on the Li-ions diffusion and the diffusion-induce stresses are controlled by the lithiation induced stiffeningmore »« less

Simulation of ratcheting in straight pipes using ANSYS with an improved cyclic plasticity model

Conference Hassan, T ; Zhu, Y ; Matzen, V C

Ratcheting has been shown to be a contributing cause of failure in several seismic experiments on piping components and systems. Most commercial finite element codes have been unable to simulate the ratcheting in those tests accurately. The reason for this can be traced to inadequate plasticity constitutive models in the analysis codes. The authors have incorporated an improved cyclic plasticity model, based on an Armstrong-Frederick kinematic hardening rule in conjunction with the Drucker-Palgen plastic modulus equation, into an ANSYS user subroutine. This modified analysis code has been able to simulate quite accurately the ratcheting behavior of a tube subjected tomore »« less
Elastic-plastic behavior of thermoplastic composites under cyclic loadings

Miscellaneous Rui, Yuting

The experimental results reveal that AS4/PEEK thermoplastic composite exhibits cyclic softening and loading range effect under symmetric cycles of strain or stress, and shows ratchetting effect under unsymmetric cycles of strain. The cyclic softening, loading range effect, ratchetting, and mean stress relaxation are anisotropic. Based on the essential features of the material behavior, an elastic-plastic constitutive model is proposed to describe the material response under cyclic loadings. A one-parameter yield surface is used. A one-parameter memory surface is introduced to characterize the loading range effect and to distinguish the deformation process during subsequent loading from the deformation process during initialmore »« less
