Safety performance and failure prediction model of cylindrical lithium-ion battery

Abstract

In this paper, the safety performance model of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, which is based on a second-order oscillation feature that is subjected to mechanical abuse is proposed via a discrete Fourier transformation of experimental data. Combined with the safety performance model and Crushable-Foam material model, the simulation results show that the average predictive error of the force-displacement and failure displacement is less than 8.8% and 4.0%, respectively. A battery fracture angle model is proposed, the fracture angle is only related to the load property, and the state-of-charge has minimal influence under the same load conditions. Furthermore, the failure prediction model of the soft short-circuit and the failure warning verification system are proposed. The experimental results show that the failure prediction model can warn the soft short-circuit in time with a certain safety margin. With further research, the safety performance model and the failure prediction model, which is based on mechanical penetration displacement, can be combined with other failure signals to provide more reliable information about battery safety. The failure warning device has the advantages of low cost and simple structure.
