Abstract Solid Oxide Fuel Cells are subjected to significant stresses during production and
operation. The various stress-generating conditions impose strength requirements on the …

Nickel-yttria-stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) cermet is widely used as an anode material in solid
oxide fuel cells (SOFCs); however, Ni re-oxidation causes critical problems due to volume …

An integrated experimental/modeling approach was utilized to assess the structural integrity
of Ni–yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) porous anode supports during the solid oxide fuel cell …

Mechanical damage is a major factor limiting the long-term stability of solid oxide fuel cells
(SOFCs). Here, the mechanical stability of planar SOFCs consisting of Ni-YSZ anode/YSZ …

The full oxidation of Ni–YSZ anode-supported cells at high temperatures (> 700° C) is
shown here to lead to much more severe degradation (larger quantity and wider cracks in …

Despite active development, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based on Ni-YSZ anodes still
suffer from thermomechanical instability under conditions where the anode side is exposed …

The mechanical failure of one cell is sufficient to lead to the end of service of a solid oxide
fuel cell (SOFC) stack. Therefore, there is growing interest in gaining knowledge on the …

Mechanical reliability is a critical parameter for both the assembling and long-term operation
of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The mechanical robustness of the SOFCs depends …

The mechanical failure of one cell is sufficient to lead to the end of service of a solid oxide
fuel cell (SOFC) stack. Therefore, there is growing interest in gaining knowledge on the …

For the proper function of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) their structural integrity must be
maintained during their whole lifetime. Any cell fracture would cause leakage and partial …
