Mechanical stresses arise in the electrode active material particles because of the interaction of lithium ions with electrode microstructure during battery operation. The stresses lead to fractures growth in the electrode, which accelerates detrimental chemical reactions. In this work, a modelling approach is presented to assess the fracture level in the electrode microstructure, evaluating the influence of the current delivered by the battery, and electrode design characteristics, such as the electrode thickness, the electrode active material fraction and the size of the electrode micro-particles. The results show that stress intensity factor linearly increase with the current delivered by the battery. Furthermore, thicker electrodes, greater active material fraction and greater electrode micro-particles represent a more detrimental condition from the fracture mechanics point of view. The results provide a practical electrode design guideline for electrode manufacturing, especially for choosing the right particle size in the electrode powder, the electrode thickness and its composition to limit fracture according to the current expected to be delivered by the battery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20518,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Structural Integrity","volume":"58 ","pages":"Pages 23-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452321624004347/pdf?md5=67a18c0cd368f351a02b567a3c6150f8&pid=1-s2.0-S2452321624004347-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141242281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research delves into innovating modular buildings to enhance their aesthetic value in contemporary architectural designs. Traditional rectangular modules have lost architectural significance in the modern era. The study focuses on the failure mechanisms of hexagonal intra-module connections under nonlinear static analysis, aiming for advanced structural design and performance in modular construction. The study tested a control model, a Welded Flange Bolted Web (WFBW) connection, and three variations with different parameters: boundary condition, bolt arrangement, and steel grade. For the boundary condition, the tie constraint between the beam's flanges and the diaphragm was removed. Bolt arrangement was assessed with staggered and non-staggered bolts. Steel grade variations included S275 and S355. Results showed that the WFBW connection outperformed the Bolted Web (BW) connection in load resistance. The most damaged component was the beam, with bearing failure at the upper bolt hole. Non-staggered bolts exhibited larger displacements than staggered bolts. The study emphasized the significance of steel material strength in terms of stress and strain on bolt capacity. It highlights the importance of intra-module connections in modular steel structures and the need to consider design parameters carefully. The findings offer insights into improving modular connections' performance and failure mechanisms, facilitating the creation of aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound modular structures. This nonlinear static analysis aids in developing advanced modular construction designs, enhancing architectural significance in the modern era. By merging structural performance and aesthetics, the study promotes innovative modular construction to meet contemporary architectural demands.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20518,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Structural Integrity","volume":"58 ","pages":"Pages 130-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452321624004505/pdf?md5=6f68d319129bd56bb7e665380a2f163d&pid=1-s2.0-S2452321624004505-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141242150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lack of knowledge about the load spectrum for these structures poses challenges in terms of design and can lead to either over-engineering or catastrophic failure. This research introduces a robust and innovative device, analogous to a \"Fitbit\" for structures, capable of measuring complex loading conditions throughout the structure's lifespan. The proposed approach involves developing a middleware, referred to as an \"extension,\" which facilitates the transfer of mechanical deformation to a piezoelectric sensor. This approach overcomes challenges associated with directly attaching piezoelectric sensors to the structure's surface such as rupture possibility in higher strain and attaching on rough surfaces. The feasibility study primarily focuses on validating the performance of the extension and monitoring variation trends. The ultimate objective is to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor node capable of measuring applied cyclic loads. To achieve this goal, an electronic system and embedded software will be developed to capture the complex load spectrum and convert it into a fatigue damage index for predicting the structure's fatigue life. The collected data will be transmitted to the user through a wireless communication platform. The proposed sensor design is versatile, allowing for both attachment and embedding and is demonstrated here for monitoring fatigue in engineering structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20518,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Structural Integrity","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 570-582"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452321623007576/pdf?md5=665949671044dfb29eb01aa5054902e9&pid=1-s2.0-S2452321623007576-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work investigates the effect of hydrogen on the fracture behavior of a relatively old grade API 5L X56 pipeline steel produced by normalized rolling which resulted in a banded microstructure.
