Abstract
Material degradation and life prediction studies need to overcome numerous challenges. Among the most formidable is the long term, real time data generation. The typical experimental time span seldom goes beyond a year and various ways to accelerate the ageing process frequently encounter fundamental difficulties which reduce the value of the extrapolation or worse, totally negate it.
