Method for combined environment accelerated aging

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6542871

An accelerated aging method which can be used to simulate aging in combined stress environment situations is described. It is shown how the assumptions of the method can be tested experimentally. Aging data for a chloroprene cable jacketing material in single and combined radiation and temperature environments are analyzed and it is shown that these data, as well as literature data on a biological system, offer evidence for the validity of the method.
