Understanding longevity - avoiding failures.
Products are subject to ageing processes that directly influence their service life and reliability. These processes can be analyzed and predicted using aging and degradation models (Physics of Failure). This allows you to identify risks at an early stage and take countermeasures – before failures occur.
Why ageing models are important
New materials, technologies or changed loads often make it necessary to specifically investigate ageing processes. Only in this way can the correct models be derived and reliably applied.
- Well-known models such as the Arrhenius model, Black's Law or Lawson model
- Parameterisation of physics of failure models for the product
- Necessity of specific tests for new materials or loads
Our approach
We develop customized test plans with you in order to obtain suitable ageing and degradation models. From planning to evaluation, we accompany the entire process – practical and backed up by experience.
- Identification of suitable experimental designs (Design of Experiments)
- Determination of key model parameters such as activation energy
- Efficient test execution, even with complex stress factors
- Ongoing evaluations for the early detection of anomalies
- Avoidance of errors through our proven methodology
Your benefit
By using ageing models and degradation models, you receive reliable predictions about the service life and ageing of your products. You gain clarity about how your products behave under real conditions and can implement targeted optimizations.
These methods are particularly valuable in industries such as energy, chemical and process engineering and automotive, where longevity and predictable maintenance are crucial. In combination with service life models and reliability testing, we create a solid basis for your development and investment decisions.
