Abstract
In light of the growing safety concerns associated with lithium-ion batteries integrated in electric automobiles, there is an escalating need to explore the mechanical behavior of lithium-ion batteries under diverse loading conditions using finite element simulations. In this paper, a homogenized finite element model was proposed to predict the material behavior of pouch lithium-ion cells using finite element simulations under various loading conditions. This homogenized model consisted of four layers of solid elements wrapped by shell elements, and it was made to consider especially the porosity and the pressure sensitivity of a pouch cell. The material properties of this homogenized model were calibrated based on the out-of-plane compression, in-plane confined compression, and 3-point bending test data for a single cell. The simulations using the model exhibited good agreement with the experimental load-displacement data not only for a single cell but also for two stacked cells. Additionally, the effects of the pouch and the vacuum on the mechanical behavior were examined.
