Abstract

Accurately predicting the fatigue failure of lithium-ion battery electrode particles during charge–discharge cycles is essential for enhancing their structural reliability and lifespan. The fatigue failure of lithium-ion battery electrode particles during charge–discharge cycles poses a significant challenge in maintaining structural reliability and lifespan. To address this critical issue, this study presents a mathematical formulation for fatigue failure in lithium-ion batteries, utilizing the phase-field approach to fracture modeling. This approach, widely employed for fracture failure analysis, offers a comprehensive framework for capturing the complex interplay between mechanical deformation, chemical lithium concentration, and crack formation. Specifically, an additive decomposition of the strain tensor is employed to account for the swelling and shrinkage effects induced by lithium diffusion. Moreover, open-source code (https://github.com/noiiG) is provided, constituting a convenient platform for future developments, e.g., multi-field coupled problems. The developed chemo-mechanical model undergoes fatigue failure package is written in FEniCS as a popular free open-source computing platform for solving partial differential equations in which simplifies the implementation of parallel FEM simulations. Several numerical simulations with two different case studies corresponding to monotonic charge process and fatigue charge/discharge process are performed to demonstrate the correctness of our algorithmic developments.
