Welcome
to Prof. Nadimpalli's Micro and Nano
Mechanics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The main goal of
our lab is to provide fundamental understanding of the mechanics of
deformation, fracture, degradation, and failure of materials using a
combined experimental and modeling approach.
The current focus of our lab is to understand the role of mechanics in the degradation of lithium-ion batteries to enable durable and light weight battery designs. Please visit the research, publications, and facilities page to find more about our unique capabilities and our research activities. Education page has some information about our educational and outreach activities.   (a) and (b) show lithiated Si particles held by PVdF polymer in a composite lithium-ion electrode. (c) is an image of nano scale Si film after 40 charge/discharge cycles showing extensive degradation. Brief News 27 August, 2018 Igor Bezsonov (PhD student) joined our group. Welcome to our group Igor! July 24-27, 2018 Dr. Nadimpalli has delivered an invited lecture on mechanics of battery materials at IIT Madras and an invited talk on "fracture behavior of 3D printed thermoplastics" at the second Structural Integrity Conference and Exhibition at Hyderabad, India July, 2018 Pat's paper on solder fracture has been published in Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Raj's paper on Li transport has been published in the Journal of Electrochemical Society, Congratulations to Pat, Rich, Raj and Subhajit! January 11, 2018 Subhajit's paper was accepted for publication in the journal of Experimental Mechanics, Congratulations Subhajit!!
