Authors Abstract
Content
Solar radiation causes plastic parts to fail prematurely. A survey of vehicles in the Southwest United States indicates “which parts do not live in the “real world” environment. Static and dynamic tests were. conducted to determine the solar and thermal loads on these components. The test results presented show the solar impact on the plastic components in the “real world” environment.
