A multiscale model of porous electrodes based on the Gibbs free energy is developed, in which the Li ion diffusion, diffusion-induced stress (DIS), and polydispersities of electrode particle sizes are considered. The relationships between the size polydispersities and the concentration profiles and DIS evolution are investigated numerically. Li ion distributions are verified by in situ observation of color changes in a commercial porous graphite electrode.
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University (http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering. The department is especially interested in candidates in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, control, optimization, and machine learning.

Requirement:
1. PhD in mechanical engineering/computer science/software engineering/mathematics or related
2. Skilled in FEM theory, and have experience in developing linear/non-linear/thermal/structure FEM solver
The 2nd International Conference on Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids intends to concentrate on topics such as:
Optical devices and systems with tunable optical transmittance have recently attracted great interest due to their wide range of applications. However, the reported methods of realizing tunable optical transmittance still suffer from complex fabrication processes, high cost, unstable materials or low tuning range. In this study, we report a simple, cheap, and highly effective approach to achieve large tuning range of optical transmittance through harnessing surface wrinkling-cracking patterns on PDMS films.
