This article presents an example of the analysis of a powder composed of spherical particles. Since powders have a very fine heterogeneous structure, a multi-scale approach based on homogenization analysis is proposed. The macroscopic material behavior of the powder is obtained through virtual compression tests using a unit cell model representative of the microstructure. The microstructure is further homogenized by curve-fitting its material response according to the constitutive law of the macro material. The analysis was performed using Ansys® MechanicalTM and its add-on tool Multiscale.Sim.

CASE STUDY
The article discusses advancements in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) as safe energy storage solutions, highlighting the challenges in achieving high ion conductivity compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). While ASSBs offer safety and high energy density, issues such as internal resistance and low ionic conductivity hinder their performance.
