Computational Materials Science And Engineering: Model Development And Case Study, Yihan Xu
Theses and Dissertations
This study presents three tailored models for popular problems in energy storage and biological materials which demonstrate the application of computational materials science in material system development in these fields. The modeling methods can be extended for solving similar practical problems and applications.
In the first application, the thermo-mechanical stress concentrated region in planar sodium sulfur (NaS) cells with large diameter and different container materials has been estimated as well as the shear and normal stresses in these regions have been quantified using finite-element analysis (FEA) computation technique. It is demonstrated that the primary failure mechanism in the planar NaS …

Part I: Reprogrammable Chemical 3D Shaping for Origami, Kirigami, and Reconfigurable Molding
Origami- and kirigami-based design principles have recently received strong interest from the scientific and engineering communities because they offer fresh approaches to engineering of structural hierarchy and adaptive functions in materials, which could lead to many promising applications. Herein, we present a reprogrammable 3D chemical shaping strategy for creating a wide variety of stable complex origami and kirigami structures autonomously. This strategy relies on a reverse patterning method that encodes prescribed 3D geometric information as a spatial pattern of the unlocked phase (dispersed phase) in the locked phase …
