Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) will cause internal short-circuits and even induce thermal runaway when they are subjected to compression and impact loadings. It is of great significance to explore the influencing factors of battery failure under different mechanical abuses for the crashworthiness design of the cells. In this paper, taking cylindrical LIBs as the research object, the force-electrical-thermal responses of the cells under different compression/impact conditions were studied by using a self-made plane compression and local indentation experimental system. The experimental results were compared with the corresponding finite element (FE) ones, and there was in good agreement with each other. Based on the explicit nonlinear FE method, the effects of loading velocity, indenter shape, and indenter diameter on the failure behaviors and mechanical responses of LIBs were also discussed. It is shown that localized indentation is more likely to induce the failure of the cells compared with plane compression. The peak force significantly decreases with the decrease of the indenter diameter, and the failure displacement also decreases correspondingly. It is noted that the failure displacement increases with the increase of the impact velocity, however, the failure displacement will decrease gradually when the impact velocity is more than 15 m/s. These results will provide some guidance for the multi-objective optimal design and safety assessment of LIBs.
