👉 Aging engineering refers to the gradual deterioration of mechanical, electrical, and software systems over time due to wear, environmental factors, and usage. This process can lead to reduced performance, increased failure rates, and higher maintenance costs. In mechanical systems, aging manifests as material fatigue, corrosion, and lubricant degradation; in electrical systems, it includes insulation breakdown and component wear; and in software, it often involves data corruption, algorithm drift, and reduced system efficiency. Addressing aging engineering requires proactive maintenance, regular inspections, material upgrades, and the implementation of predictive analytics to extend system lifespans and ensure reliability.
