  1. 1. Meso-Mechanical Modeling and Analysis of Adhesive Layers

    Author : Kent Salomonsson; Ulf Stigh; Per Ståhle; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adhesive layer; Meso-mechanical; Representative Volume Element; Large curvatures; Interphase elements; Evolution algorithm; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik; Technology; Teknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the modeling, simulation and analysis of adhesive layers. By use of an in situ scanning electron microscopy study it is found that the adhesive studied in the present thesis has a very complex structure with two different compounds, a mineral and an epoxy/thermoplastic blend.

  2. 2. Impact Simulation of Adhesively Joined Structures

    Author : Thomas Carlberger; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adhesive joining; Dynamic fracture; Cohesive zone; Interphase Element; Bi-material joining; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik; Teknik; Technology;

    Abstract : The development of competitive and crashworthy automotive car bodies has reached so far that the manufacturers no longer rely on mono-material steel structures. Improved strength/weight performance may be achieved by using optimal material in each part of the car structure, leading to bi-material joints and ruling out spot welding; the common joining method during the past half century of automotive history.

  3. 3. Anti-Ageing Strategies : How to avoid failure in sodium-ion batteries

    Author : Le Anh Ma; Reza Younesi; Daniel Brandell; Laurent Duda; Philipp Adelhelm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sodium-ion batteries; manganese-based cathodes; solid electrolyte interphase; ageing mechanism; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : In order to move away from fossil fuels, batteries are one of the most important technologies to store energy from renewable sources. The rapid demands of battery applications put pressure on supply chains of raw materials, such as lithium, nickel, copper, aluminium and cobalt. READ MORE

  4. 4. Development of metal hydride surface structures for high power NiMH batteries : Also extended cycle-life and lead to more effective recycling methods

    Author : Yang Shen; Dag Noréus; Andreas Züttel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metal hydrides; NiMH batteries; Surface treatment; Ni clusters; Rare earths hydroxides; Oxygen; Hydrogen; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : By combining alkaline etching of hydrogen storage alloys or their hydrides with a controlled oxidation, it was possible to improve reaction kinetics and accelerate activation of MH-electrodes. Both AB5 and AB2 alloys were studied where A is mixtures of rare earth elements for AB5 alloys and titanium and/or vanadium, zirconium for AB2 alloys; nickel contributes the major part of B.

  5. 5. Realization of Sodium-ion Batteries : From Electrode to Electrolyte Materials

    Author : Ronnie Mogensen; Reza Younesi; Daniel Brandell; Kang Xu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sodium-ion batteries; electrolytes; Prussian white; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : Batteries are among the most important technologies required to enable the world to move beyond fossil fuels towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly society based on electricity from renewable sources. Unfortunately, the rapidly increasing number and size of batteries that the world needs in order to perform this paradigm shift is putting enormous strain on the supply of traditional raw materials for batteries, such as lithium and cobalt.
