**4.1 Stress analysis**

The full 3-D FE models of the anode (50:50 NiO:YSZ weight percentage composition) and cathode (50:50 LSM:YSZ weight percentage composition) are shown in Figure 7. The FE anode model consists of 406,465 elements and 473,181 nodes. The cathode model has 244,584 elements and 395,131 nodes.
