The new class of flagship iPhones, the XS and XS Max, made hardware upgrades focused on durability and performance, with a new chipset and not too much else.
For the reasons, many researches have been focused on durability design and quantitative deterioration evaluation, and have suggested a durability design code and the related guidelines for chloride attack (European Committee for Standardization (Comité Européen de Normalisation, CEN) 2000; Japan Society of Civil Engineering, JSCE 2007; American Concrete Institute, ACI 2011).
By focusing on durability, you can minimize both repairs and replacements.
Therefore, it is a key issue when focusing on durability, since the deterioration mechanisms and the treatment methods exert direct influences on the fibre-matrix interface.
This study is focusing on durability of the neat blended cement paste as well as those of the polymer-impregnated paste towards seawater and various concentrations of magnesium sulfate solutions up to 6 months of curing.
It is challenging to develop durable and efficient bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts; in particular, few researchers have focused on the durability of the material, which is the most relevant aspect for industrial application of these catalysts.
Based on the review of literature, a limited number of field studies focused on the durability of lightweight concrete decks have been performed.
The study focused on the durability of the so-designed mixtures, especially their resistance against carbonation and their equivalence of performances.
The most recent phase of this program, which began in late 1997, is focused on the durability of catalytic reactors in the gas turbine combustor operating environment.
Among the available studies, some research focused on the durability of concrete beams strengthened with FRP and investigated the changes in ultimate beam strength and stiffness after various environmental exposures, whereas other research conducted similar investigation on the bond strength between FRP and concrete under aggressive environment.
As highlighted in Mars and Fatemi [Mars, W.V, Fatemi, A., 2002. A literature survey on fatigue analysis approaches of rubbers. Int. J. Fatigue 24, 949 961; Mars, W.V, Fatemi, A., 2004. Factors that affect the fatigue life of rubber: A literature survey. Rubber Chem. Technol. 77, 391 412], a large number of works focused on the durability of rubber.
