Potential energy contained by batteries equal to 25.2 MJ

Laws of thermodynamics- pressure that results from complete release of energy equal to 21.58 ksi 9.6” thick Al-7075T6 necessary

BlastWrap data indicates it can absorb 4.9 MJ Leaves energy that could result in pressure of

17.38 ksi 8.4” thick Al-7075T6 necessary

This is worst case scenario, and disregards any ventilation also

Rectangular pressure vessel calculations from ASME Boiler and Pressure Codes

1/4” thick Al-7075T6 can handle 22.17 psi.

This equals about 25.82 kJ. Added to energy absorbed by BlastWrap

results in total energy designed enclosure can handle= 4.9258 MJ

Enclosing the battery pack safely, securely, and conveniently

Protection from accidental battery explosion

Reduces customer’s budgetSafety concerns of Toyota Plug-in Hybrid

customersSafety concerns of Toyota manufacture

Satisfied the majority of our sponsor’s requirementsFit in the trunk space and hold two battery

modules inside safely and securely Analysis

Hand calculations, Pro-Engineer analysis, Ansys analysis, and CFD analysis gave the team more confidence

Satisfied the cost requirement will help the future product to be

completed satisfactorily.

BlastWrap is such a new material, even they do not have many solid data points on their material Design and conduct small scale tests, utilizing the

BlastWrap during explosions Compare results to other scaled explosion tests that

do not utilize the BlastWrap. Possibility to prove its efficiency and more

Different material could be chosen for the outside of the enclosure.

Cheaper, lighter weight If tests show BlastWrap not

as efficient Choose stronger, heavier,

more expensive material Ensure customer’s safety.
