Abstract:

Simulations were performed to assess the effect of juncture properties on mechanical response of point-bonded fibrous networks. The transport properties were Simultaneously assessed. A series of numerical implementations were devised through support by this program, and advancement in simulations of materials particularly relevant to battery technology was made. Two publications are in progress whose efforts were supported by this project, and several presentations were also made with support from this program.
