Characteristic Differences of Thermal Runaway Triggered by Overheating and Overcharging in Lithium-Ion Batteries and Multi-Dimensional Safety Protection Strategies

Batteries
Overheating and overcharging are the core triggering conditions for the thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries. Studying the behavioral differences of thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries under these two conditions is crucial for the safety design ...

Crystallization of Supercooled Liquid Elements Induced by Superclusters Containing Magic Atom Numbers

Metals, 2014
A few experiments have detected icosahedral superclusters in undercooled liquids. These superclusters survive above the crystal melting temperature Tm because all their surface atoms have the same fusion heat as their core atoms, and are melted by liquid

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,
