SubsidieMeestersScaling up dissipative metamaterials for energy absorption applications
Developing lightweight mechanical metamaterials to enhance battery box safety in electric vehicles, reducing fire risk and CO2 footprint while enabling broader industrial applications.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Preventing thermal run-away (resulting in fire) of batteries in electrical vehicles, which can result from impingement of the protecting battery box during side impact collisions, is a critical design consideration for vehicle safety.
Design Considerations
This challenge requires a careful trade-off between the shock-absorbing capabilities and the lightness of the material to ensure both safety and efficiency in vehicle design.
Development of Metamaterials
We have developed a new class of mechanical metamaterials that are lightweight and highly dissipative, outperforming traditional protections for battery boxes by orders of magnitude.
Project Goals
The goal of this ERC POC project is to establish metamaterials as a commercially viable solution for a new generation of battery boxes. Our metamaterials will allow for:
- Increased safety of electric vehicles
- Reduction of their CO2 footprint by making them lighter
Broader Applications
More broadly, our new generation of metamaterials could potentially be used in aerospace and seismic protection applications, hence paving the way for being the first to use mechanical metamaterials in industrial high-tech applications.
