Aging
We examine the functionality and durability of structural elements, components, and vehicles subject to climate change.
What we do
We simulate aging to weathering agents by controlling exposure to temperature, humidity, and solar radiation.
Simulate a life cycle
During the aging test, components are exposed to repeated thermal cycles or severe environmental conditions that simulate accelerated atmospheric aging process. We investigate color and brightness changes, as well as delamination effects, lack of adhesion, mass and size alterations.
