We offer the following reserach topic:
Thesis - Development of Electro-Chemical-Mechanical Battery Models
Your Responsibilities
The automotive industry's role in curbing carbon emissions and addressing climate change is vital. Electric vehicles offer an efficient and eco-friendly transportation solution. Understanding automotive batteries is key to enhancing their performance and reliability.Electro-chemical-mechanical models help capture the intricate dynamics of battery performance, aging, and mechanical impacts.
This master's thesis opportunity involves developing and validating precise electro-chemical-mechanical models using the Python tool PyBaMM, an open-source resource enabling tailored modeling of lithium-ion batteries and their aging processes.
- Review state-of-the-art electro-chemical-mechanical modeling approaches for automotive batteries.
- Investigate the fundamental electrochemical aging processes and their coupling with mechanical deformation and cell thickness growth (swelling).
- Develop mathematical and computational models for battery behavior under different mechanical conditions.
- Validate the developed models using experimental data.
- Ongoing master studies in the fields of Engineering, Technical (computer science) or Natural sciences (physics, mathematic ...)
- Strong proficiency in Python
- Knowledge of battery technology is a plus
- Experience in mechanical FEA simulations is beneficial but not required
- High level of self-reliance with the ability to work in a team, as well as autonomously
- Fluent English language skills are essential, fluent German is beneficial
- You can write your thesis independently and receive professional guidance and support from our experienced employees.
- You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts in the company and benefit from their expertise.
- Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of AVL and embed your theoretical knowledge in a practical environment.
The successful completion of the thesis is remunerated with a one-time fee of 3.500,00 EUR before tax.
