👉 Nec engineering, or necroengineering, refers to the process of designing and constructing systems or devices that intentionally fail or degrade over time in a controlled manner, often for specific purposes such as testing resilience, studying failure mechanisms, or creating self-repairing structures. This engineering approach leverages the principles of biomimicry and material science to develop materials and systems that can mimic biological processes, such as self-healing or programmed degradation. By intentionally introducing controlled failures, necroengineering allows researchers to better understand how materials and systems behave under stress, leading to advancements in durability, longevity, and sustainability. It is particularly valuable in fields like aerospace, automotive, and biomedical engineering, where reliability and safety are paramount.
