Computational and Experimental Observation of Li-Ion Concentration Distribution and Diffusion-Induced Stress in Porous Battery Electrodes
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.

Harnessing Surface Wrinkling-Cracking Patterns for Tunable Optical Transmittance
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.
Experimental and numerical study of crack behaviour for capsule-based self-healing cementitious materials
Dear all,
Our group at Delft University is developing self-healing concrete for over a decade. Recently, they have published a combined experimental and modeling study related to designing these materials. More details are available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319542777_Experimental_and_num…
