Crashworthiness topology optimisation for light-weight battery compartments

本项目使用计算建模和优化方法来设计电动汽车的电池舱。随着电动汽车使用的日益广泛，人们对高能电池在碰撞中发生灾难性故障的后果的认识也越来越高。该项目将开发新的设计方法，使用多学科技术的电池仓结构。该方法将传统的耐撞性设计扩展到机械-电化学-热耦合问题。提出的电池舱结构的耐撞性优化将提高电动汽车的安全性和可靠性，潜在地使消费者和制造商受益。

This project uses computational modelling and optimisation methods to the design of battery compartments for electric vehicles. As the use of electric vehicles becomes more extensive, awareness of the consequences of catastrophic failure of high energy battery in a crash has increased. This project will develop novel design methodologies, using multi-disciplinary techniques for battery compartment structure. The methodology will expand conventional crashworthiness design to the coupled mechanical-electrochemical-thermal problems. The proposed crashworthiness optimisation of battery compartment structure will enhance safety and reliability of electric vehicles, potentially benefiting consumers and manufacturers.
