vastuuvahingot
Vastuuvahingot is a term used in materials science and risk assessment to denote collateral damage that arises when protective measures against a threat introduce new vulnerabilities. The concept is applied particularly in outdoor materials and electronics where UV exposure interacts with coatings, adhesives, and substrates.
Etymology: The word is of Estonian origin, formed from vastu ('against') and uvahingot ('UV damage'), reflecting
Mechanisms: Protective layers, filters, or control algorithms may experience accelerated aging, delamination, or mechanical stress under
Measurement and implications: Resistance to vastuuvahingot is evaluated through accelerated UV aging tests, spectroscopy, and finite-element
History and status: The term has appeared in a limited set of engineering papers and risk-assessment guidelines
