Preface
Ageing is an inherent feature of nature and of all man-made products. Small consumer goods, electronic devices, power plants, electricity grids, infrastructural works and art treasures—all are subjected to ageing. Although the consequences of ageing can be observed everywhere around us and many strategies have been developed to mitigate these consequences, no comprehensive scientific perception of ageing exists today. Moreover, the omnipresence of ageing and the often very slow progress of ageing phenomena are two reasons why we have got used to the obviously unavoidable presence of ageing. Ageing is a matter of fact, and we have to adapt to it. This attitude, however, seems to be changing lately. More and more, ageing is considered a huge financial burden for modern industriali
