Which is pretty scary when you come to think of it: either a goblin has cast a spell on a whole profession - or that profession is doing something fundamentally wrong". IT Success! challenges the widespread assumption that an IT department is like a building contractor whose project managers, architects and engineers (all construction industry terms...) are supposed to deliver systems on schedule, within budget and to spec.

It discusses practical examples and gaps in our understanding, while reviewing in depth the theoretical background and algorithms. Over the last ten years, several world-class academics, automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), battery cell manufacturers and software developers worked together under an effort initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop mature, validated modeling tools to simulate design, performance, safety and life of automotive batteries. Until recently, battery modeling was a niche focus area with a relatively small number of experts. This book opens up the research topic for a broader audience from industry and academia alike. It is a valuable resource for anyone who works on battery engineering but has limited hands-on experience with coding.Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry,2197-7941 ;62Electric batteriesMaterialsComputer-aided engineeringFuel cellsElectrochemistryMathematical modelsEngineeringData processingBatteriesComputer-Aided Engineering (CAD, CAE) and DesignFuel CellsElectrochemistryMathematical Modeling and Industrial MathematicsData EngineeringElectric batteries.Materials.Computer-aided engineering.Fuel cells.Electrochemistry.Mathematical models.EngineeringData processing.Batteries.Computer-Aided Engineering (CAD, CAE) and Design.Fuel Cells.Electrochemistry.Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics.Data Engineering.620.00420285Santhanagopalan ShriramMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910682568303321Computer Aided Engineering of Batteries3083365UNINA
