This paper describes the application of the Radial Functions Method to model and simulate polymer processing. The coupled system of energy and motion equations for laminar two-dimensional flows in steady state of incompressible non-Newtonian fluids is considered. The results delivered by RFM are compared with numerical results of other methods, and with analytical solutions based on simplified ...

Calendering is an essential process step to manufacture electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The relationship between the various component material properties and calendering conditions has a large impact on battery performance. In this work, Discrete Element Method (DEM) was used investigate electrode structure evolution under different conditions. initial positions of active (AM) particles ...

Due to the complex process chain in battery cell production, effects of processes on subsequent must be evaluated. As challenge calendering electrodes, corrugation can observed depending adjusted parameters. To evaluate with regard stacking accuracy, a concept for modelling - separation single sheet is presented. First, an experimental approach impact electrode geometry after suggested. Finally...
