APPROACH
A generic approach to materials life management is to understand the baseline properties of the
materials of interest and to obtain performance data at aging conditions for comparison. The
environmental conditions of the aging tests should bound any conditions that may be
experienced with the lifetime of the materials of interest. Bounding conditions may include the
highest or lowest temperature and/or humidity, the maximum radiation dose expected, chemical
interactions, weight factors, storage configurations, etc. Figure 2 provides a schematic that
represents the many considerations needed when defining a program to validate integrity of the
materials during the life of the package. Those considerations are further explained in Table 1.
