Rigidized lower housing geometry: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Structural integrity failures and thermal runaway risks in high-voltage batteries increase vehicle safety costs. These innovations utilize segmented housing sections and specialized lower-part geometries to ensure crashworthiness and environmental sealing.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Rigidized lower housing geometry?

Structural housing deformation

(44)evidences

Trapped moisture or fluid ingress within battery enclosures causes corrosion and electrical shorts. Effective drainage prevents catastrophic failure and extends the operational lifespan of the energy storage system.

Structural battery integration instability

(41)evidences

Structural vulnerability during mechanical deformation or collision events. Preventing internal cell damage through controlled energy absorption ensures battery pack integrity.

Underbody energy storage vulnerability

(15)evidences

Exposure of battery housings and floor assemblies to mechanical impact and debris during vehicle operation. Preventing structural breach ensures the integrity of energy storage systems and passenger safety.

Insufficient structural integrity

(10)evidences

Insufficient mechanical strength in battery enclosures leads to cell damage during vehicle operation or impact. Enhancing structural rigidity prevents catastrophic deformation and ensures long-term containment of internal components.
