I used to have to do “Time at Temperature” thermal analyses on all sorts of underhood parts (rubber engine mounts were my nemeses). In short, we used Arrhenius plots—which characterize a material’s degradation rate at certain temperatures—to see if our newly designed fascias and cooling modules and exhaust packaging…
