After reading through the relevant field literature, we setup the experimental site and
prepared the measurement plans for testing the effect of vibration fatigue on LFP cell
capacity. We also checked the natural frequencies of the system with added weights. The
cell fixture was constructed in a way to force the first bending modal shape. The test was
done at different acceleration amplitudes and we had an extra control cell. Additionally, we
prepared a simplified 3D model to analyse the mechanical stress state of the cell. Results
showed a visible effect of vibration fatigue on both the maximum capacity and kept capacity
throughout the test. The stress model displayed the mechanical stress state inside the cell.
