Mechanical properties and thermal runaway study of automotive lithium-ion power batteries

As the most widely used power battery for pure electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery has been studied in detail, including electrochemical performance and mechanical safety. This paper focuses on the mechanical response and thermal runaway phenomena caused by external mechanical stress of lithium-ion batteries at different states of charge (SOC). The results show that the SOC affects the mechanical strength as well as the temperature of the...
