Thesis - Thermal and Erosion Resistance of Materials in Battery ApplicationsYour Responsibilities

Material degradation caused by thermal and erosive factors is a significant issue in automotive sectors, especially regarding battery thermal safety. As electric vehicles gain traction, comprehending material behavior during thermal runaway or propagation incidents becomes vital. This master's thesis will delve into various materials, focusing on their thermal resilience and erosion resistance.

This study aims to evaluate and characterize materials such as Aerogel, Polyurethane, Silicone, and Glass Fiber mats, alongside metallic and polymeric coatings under extreme conditions. Through comprehensive testing and analysis of material responses, this research aspires to deliver insights essential for informed decision-making in automotive design and engineering.

Furthermore, a 1D or 3D model will be developed to forecast material behavior during thermal and erosive challenges based solely on material properties. The data gathered from the testing series will subsequently be utilized to create a material map for simulation purposes and to validate the constructed 1D or 3D simulation model.

  • Pursuing studies in engineering, technical, or natural sciences
  • Familiarity with battery technology is advantageous
  • High degree of independence with the capability to collaborate effectively
  • Proficient English language skills are mandatory; fluent German is a plus
Your Profile
  • Conducting a literature review of existing scientific publications
  • Developing a testing matrix and standardizing test specifications
  • Setting up experiments for the chosen materials
  • Comparing material properties
  • Cataloging results and performing detailed analysis of test outcomes
  • Constructing a 1D or 3D simulation model
We Offer
  • Opportunity to independently write your thesis while receiving professional guidance and support from our experienced team.
  • Engagement with experts in the company, allowing for valuable knowledge exchange.
  • Chance to immerse yourself in the world of AVL and apply your theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.
