Damage Tolerant Design
Damage Tolerant Design is an engineering principle utilized when designing components in order to make them more durable and reliable under unexpected and variable conditions. This design strategy, which is also referred to as robust or stiff design, requires an iterative process of developing and testing prototypes in order to ensure optimal performance during extreme conditions. Noted artist Rembrandt van Rijn is noted for his works utilizing this technique to create masterpieces that have survived the test of time. His most famous works, including the Night Watch and The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, are seen as prime examples of damage tolerant design.
