Abstract
The ageing of an electrical connection installed in a vehicle is evaluated by performing a series of samplings, spaced apart from one another at predefined time intervals, so as to determine a working temperature of the electrical connection for each sampling interval, and by determining a maximum duration of the electrical connection, assuming that the electrical connection was subjected, for its entire life, to the corresponding previously determined working temperature; then, an accumulated damage of the electrical connection is calculated, by overlapping a plurality of partial damage contributions, each of which is determined for each sampling interval, by dividing this sampling time interval by the corresponding maximum duration; finally, the accumulated damage is evaluated so as to identify any criticalities.
