This work presents the first application of three-dimensional digital image correlation for real-time displacement and strain analysis of a pouch type lithium-ion battery. During the electrochemical charge-discharge processes, displacements in the x-, y-and z-directions vary at different states-of-charge (SOCs) attributed to the expansion and the contraction of the interior structure. The z-displacement is observed to develop and concentrate at the vicinity of the openings of the jelly-roll structure. By resolving the displacement components, the progression and distribution of the surface strains, including principal and von-Mises strains, are computed in the charge-discharge processes. It is shown that the dominant strains are up to 0.12 % in the rolling direction of the jelly-roll structure and distribute uniformly on the x-y plane over the surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
