Abstract

We, the authors, Editors and Publisher of the journal International Journal of Crashworthiness have retracted the following article: Research on mechanical properties of power battery based on SOC and crushing speed Yalong Xu, Fei Liu, Jiale Guo, Meng Li & Bing Han International Journal of Crashworthiness, 2020 https://doi.org/10.1080/13588265.2020.1858627 Since publication, the authors noted there are several unattributed references and erroneous presentation of primary data and results. In addition, there is significant overlap in content with another published article: Crushing behaviors and failure of packed batteries. International Journal of Impact Engineering L. L. Hu, Z. W. Zhang, M. Zh. Zhou & H. J. Zhang (2020)., 143(103618). The authors alerted the problems to the Editor and Publisher, and all have agreed to retract the article to ensure the integrity of the scholarly record. The authors apologise for this error.
