Title: Early indicators of degradation of materials with applications to batteries
Authors: Satish Iyengar - University of Pittsburgh (United States) [presenting]
Abstract: The degradation of materials is a common phenomenon that can lead to failure that can require considerable expense to repair. Rechargeable battery-powered devices have become a very common, hence the interest in better understanding degradation. These studies are complicated by nonlinear features of degradation patterns. The use of diffusion processes is studied to approximate recent proposals involving compound Poisson process inputs to model transient phenomena.
