A Li-ion battery is a system that dynamically couples electrochemistry and mechanics. The
electrochemical processes of Li insertion and extraction in the electrodes lead to a wealth of …

Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

Silicon (Si) is considered to be a promising next-generation anode material for lithium-ion
batteries. However, the large volume change during (de) lithiation processes causes fracture …

Thermodynamically consistent phase field theory for multivariant martensitic transformations,
which includes large strains and interface stresses, is developed. Theory is formulated in a …

Abstract Thermodynamically consistent, three-dimensional (3D) phase field approach (PFA)
for coupled multivariant martensitic transformations (PTs), including cyclic PTs, variant …

This paper aims at modelling stress-affected chemical reactions in spherical particles by
adopting the chemo-mechanical framework based on the chemical affinity tensor and …

We consider a stress-assist chemical reaction front propagation in a deformable solid
undergoing a localized chemical reaction between solid and gas constituents. The reaction …

As an anode active material, Si experiences large deformations during battery cycling, which
has been cited as a primary cause for the electrode fracture and thus capacity fading. The …

The interaction among solute atoms, local deformation velocity and viscoplasticity of host
material plays a significant role in determining the stress evolution and concentration …

A general framework to study the mechanical behaviour of a cylindrical silicon anode
particle in a lithium ion battery as it undergoes lithiation is presented. The two-way coupling …
