A 2D, plane-strain, finite element model, with perfectly-matched layer elements acting as absorbing boundaries, is used to investigate the effect of soil inhomogeneity on resultant surface vibration. The stiffness and mass matrices for the perfectly-matched layer element is derived and included for reference. Stochastic variability of the soil’s shear wave velocity is introduced using a K-L expansion; the shear wave velocity is assumed to have a log-normal distribution and a modified exponential co-variance kernel. Results suggest that local soil inhomogeneity can significantly affect surface velocity predictions; 90% confidence intervals showing 7dB averages and peak values up to 11dB are computed. This is a significant source of uncertainty and should be considered when using predictions from models assuming homogeneous soil properties.

To assist in light weighting of electric vehicles by improving the volumetric and gravimetric energy density and the structural performance of the battery pack, a modelling methodology based on a macro finite element model of a pouch cell has been developed. This model treats the core cell structure as a homogeneous orthotropic honeycomb block with the pouch material being defined as an orthotropic fabric with compressive stress elimination. The model considers five compression and bending load cases simultaneously and allows a level of element discretisation that is computationally efficient and appropriate for inclusion in full vehicle and sub-system simulations. The methodology is scalable in that it can be applied to a range of chemistries, external geometries and internal cell constructions. When considering stacks of cells, the model is predictive for both lateral compression and three-point bend, but further work is required to improve the confined compression response.
