Abstract
A general purpose 3D finite element method model has been developed for
the estimation of the compression pressure distribution in fuel cell
stacks. The model can be used for the optimisation of any type of fuel
cell structure at any temperature. The model was validated with pressure
sensitive film measurements using PEFC stack components that had low
rigidity and were highly deformable.
