The Durability

What is it?
According to Lopes and Lopes (2010), it is the material's ability to
maintain its properties over time.

How to evaluate?
Observing the main requests to which the material is submitted.
According to Koerner (1999), there are two groups of properties to be
analyzed: Endurance and Degradation

Why study durability?

Endurance and Degradation

These two groups of properties can be highlighted below:

Endurance
Mechanical damage, abrasion, creep...

Degradation
By liquids, temperature, light, oxidation...

The Researchers Initiative is well supplied with technical work

Knowing the applications is essential for durability analysis

Standards and recommendations guarantee good design

The study of durability promotes sustainable development
