Description
Conservators and other museum professionals face a large number of issues involving the mechanical behavior of materials, including questions on craquelure, restoring physically damaged objects, art in transport, or the selection of adhesives. However, science in conservation and museum studies curricula often focus primarily on chemistry. This book fills this important gap in conservation training.
The book amalgamates Dr Wei's extensive experience--almost 20 years in the aircraft and energy industries dealing with the mechanical properties and lifespan of engineering components, and 25 years in conservation science addressing issues such as vibrations, shock, and mechanical testing of conservation materials. This unique book introduces the basics of the mechanical properties and behavior of materials and objects, with examples and exercises based on conservation practice. It also delves into more complex issues of mechanical loading and presents advanced solutions. The book is specifically for the conservation community and professionals with little or no background in mechanical engineering.
