Preface
Ageing is an inherent feature of nature and of all man-made products. Small
consumer goods, electronic devices, power plants, electricity grids, infrastructural
worksandarttreasures—allaresubjectedtoageing.Althoughtheconsequencesof
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
obviouslyunavoidablepresenceofageing.Ageingisamatteroffact,andwehave
toadapttoit.Thisattitude,however,seemstobechanginglately.Moreandmore,
ageing is considered a huge financial burden for modern industrialised societies.
Ageingofourassets,assetsinthewidestsenseoftheword,isatrillion-dollarissue
andaburdenfortheenvironmentaswell.Butmaybeageingphenomenaalsooffer
new and unexpected possibilities! Ageing not only for worse, but also for better.

the initiative was taken to organise an international conference on ageing of
materials and structures, AMS’14.
This book is a collection of papers presented during the 1st International
Conference on Ageing of Materials and Structures, AMS’14, held in Delft, the
Netherlands.Manylessonswerelearnedfromallthecontributingauthors,fromthe
inspiring and lively discussions, and from the fruitful interactions. This book col-
lects only part of the gained knowledge, emphasising central aspects of ageing of
materials and structures.
The essential current state of the art on the subject of ageing is captured in the
chapters, reflecting various angles and viewpoints. The chapters present the
researchfocusoftheauthorsonageingphenomenaasembodiedinacertainfieldof
interest, but encompassing a wide range of materials and structures relevant to a
widerangeofapplications.Thisbookcollectscurrentknowledgeonageingwithin
various scientific fields, specifically addressing the interrelation of scientific back-
ground and reflection in practical cases. It links fundamentals to valid real-life
perspectives.

vi Preface
The AMS’14 conference was the first international event to reflect the impor-
tance of ageing of materials and structures worldwide. The conference targeted
rising awareness and enhanced recognition of the subject of ageing. This first
international conference is considered a path-finding event, where we want to get
ageing phenomena in sharp focus and where we articulate the essence and com-
plexity of ageing of materials and structures.
Theinitiative for thisconferencewastakenbytheAgeing CentreforMaterials,
StructuresandSystems,aspin-offoftheDelftCentreforMaterialsoftheTUDelft.
The AMS’14 was supported by RILEM (the International Union of Laboratories
and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures). The organisers
would like to thank all sponsors of AMS’14 and the respected delegates from all
overtheworldforbringingtheconferenceandthisbooktoasuccessfulconclusion.
