The distribution of contact pressure on the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) significantly affects the performance of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This paper establishes a PEM fuel cell model to investigate the impact of bolt load and its distribution, sealing gasket hardness, and size on the magnitude and distribution of contact pressure on the MEA during assembly. Thermal–mechanical coupling is employed to simulate the thermal effects resulting from chemical reactions under operational conditions. The findings reveal that there is an extremum of pressure uniformity in the range of 5000 to 6250 N for bolt loads. When the average bolt load is lower than this extremum, altering the distribution of the load can effectively enhance the uniform distribution of contact pressure. Stiffer gaskets reduce the contact pressure on the MEA while increasing the pressure on the gasket itself, resulting in reduced deformation. A rational matching relationship among gaskets, Gas Diffusion Layers (GDLs), and seal grooves is proposed. During operational conditions, thermal effects decrease the sealing performance and also impact the magnitude and distribution of contact pressure on the MEA. These outcomes provide significant guidance for the assembly and performance evaluation of PEMFCs.

“…In the traditional structural design of a fuel cell stack, the assembly load is applied to the EP by bolts and nuts. Research on this type of assembly load distribution is mainly concerned with the number and distribution of bolts [43,148,181,183]. However, the assembly load distribution of the point load inevitably leads to stress concentration at the edge, as shown in Fig.…”

In this paper, a data-oriented model has been presented by nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model (NARX) neural network, which aims at predicting the mechanical behavior of a fuel cell stack for vehicle under the real-life operational conditions. A 300-hour vibration test with reproduction of SVP road spectrum was completed on a Multi-Axial Simulation Table. At the same time, data acquisition of drive displacement and acceleration response on stack was carried out in every 50 hours. All data collected were used to train and evaluate the model based on NARX. Result shows that the prediction model built is of good precision and consistent with the actual situation.
