Ionic Mineral Technologies’ Post

Physics-based battery models offer a look at the internal electrochemical states of a battery. Predicting these electrochemical states enables a host of battery insights, including: * Prevention of Li plating * Tracking of Li inventory * Tracking of power fade In a keynote talk at the COMSOL Conference 2024 Boston, Jane Cornett of Analog Devices will cover the importance of physics-based battery models as well as the challenges that come with their parameterization.

How to build a $20 billion semiconductor fab. 👇🏼 This is an article with exceptional detail by Brian Potter over at construction-physics.com, one of my favorite substack reads. Set aside a whole evening to be amazed at what it takes to build the chips we use every day. https://lnkd.in/g7e4VgQf

Our publication on theoretical low voltage discharge current waveforms received the Best Paper Award at the EOS/ESD Symposium 2023! This paper employs simulation and calculation methods to extract key parameters that can alter ESD current waveforms when a silicon chip contacts another conductive surface, such as an interposer. In this scenario, voltage differences ranging from just a few volts to tens of volts equalize. The main challenge is that these interconnections have limited protection against fast picosecond timescale discharges. Additionally, we had an excellent Finnish-German team that advanced this study to practical ESD current measurements supporting the theoretical results. This was the second paper we published at the same conference.

The COMSOL Conference 2024 Boston is on the horizon! At this 3-day in-person event, engineers, scientists, and researchers come together to share their modeling and simulation work. Learn from keynote speakers, explore the poster hall, and attend instructor-led minicourses covering best practices and modeling techniques relevant to specific areas of interest.

Here's something to take with you and enjoy over the holidays. I recently sat in on the IWCS - The Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum webinar and it is worth the watch. The biggest take away is to "make friends with your material scientist" and look at ways that dopants can change your fiber behavior. The real magic to the data and methods is from Clemson University College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences and their AMRL with guidance from John Ballato. I'll post it below. Cheers! https://lnkd.in/eP3RvbT8

Resolvent at: "Nordic Regional Battery Visit April 9-10th 2024 in Mariestad/Skövde" I just returned after two exciting days at The Nordic Regional Battery Visit in Mariestad/Skövde. Thank you for all the exciting presentations and conversations. Resolvent was present with a stand, posters and quick pitch on how to gain a competitive advantage! Resolvent's main technical point at this conference is that we can offer multi physical simulation models of battery systems. By including the different degradation mechanisms deep technical understanding is gained. This is key to optimization of the design, production processes and operating conditions. Optimal performance (e.g. lifetime) and limited resource usage result in a competitive advantage.

I just wanted to share my recent activity at Hyperlink and all the progress that my team has made in the past months. Not going to lie, it was some exhausting weeks. After conducting all the Linear Induction Motor simulations in COMSOL on the HPC, we were finally ready to assemble the test rig and build the system in real life. 2 different LIM configurations were winded on the stator. However, we forgot to use the star configuration to connect it to the power supply. So if the current were to be engaged, the wires would melt... In the end, my Propulsion lead Shay, managed to use the star configuration and finally connect the motor which was a huge relief for us. On the braking team's side, everything went smoothly and we managed to test the old eddy current system which can be seen in the video below. Moreover, my Braking lead Tarren succeded in building emergency frictional brakes. Overall, we've spent 3 weeks building and testing the system at our workshop. We still have room for improvement but our progress has been immense. This team-leading experience revealed how important practical work is in engineering and how it enhances the understanding of complex theoretical concepts. Lastly, we transferred all our work to a 60-page document for the European Hyperloop Week competition. If anyone is interested I can always have an interesting chat with you =)))
