Art Conservation: Mechanical Properties and Testing of Materials de W. (Bill) Wei

Art Conservation: Mechanical Properties and Testing of Materials

Autor W. (Bill) Wei
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iul 2021

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 focusses mostly on chemistry. This book fills this important gap in conservation training. It is the first such book written specifically for the conservation community and professionals with little or no background in (mechanical) engineering. It introduces the basics of mechanical properties and behavior of materials and objects with examples and exercises based on conservation practice. More complex issues of mechanical loading and advanced solutions are also introduced.

Notă biografică

W. (Bill) Wei is a senior conservation scientist in the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. He has a BSE in mechanical engineering (Princeton University, 1977) and a PhD in materials science (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1983). Before working in cultural heritage, he spent almost 20 years in industrial materials research and development in the areas of fracture mechanics, fatigue, and corrosion. Dr. Wei has since been conducting research and consulting on the effects of vibrations and mechanical stresses on the condition of fragile works of art for more than 20 years. He also conducts research on perception related to conservation treatments and object appearance, risks for objects due to mechanical loads, and conservation ethics.

Descriere

 

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 focusses mostly on chemistry. This book fills this important gap in conservation training. It is the first such book written specifically for the conservation community and professionals with little or no background in (mechanical) engineering. It introduces the basics of mechanical properties and behavior of materials and objects with examples and exercises based on conservation practice. More complex issues of mechanical loading and advanced solutions are also introduced.

Recenzii

  “Dr Wei’s latest book is an essential resource for conservators grappling with the challenges of transporting, displaying, and storing works of art. The early chapters expertly introduce fundamental concepts related to vibration and shock damage in a clear and didactic manner, while the subsequent chapters on control, monitoring, and mitigation present these ideas concisely and effectively. The book demystifies many of the fears that haunt conservators, equipping them with tools to understand the risks associated with physical forces on objects—risks that have been understudied in the field of movable cultural heritage. Without a doubt, this work is a valuable contribution to the field of cultural heritage conservation.”

“Building on Dr Wei’s earlier work Art Conservation: Mechanical Properties and Testing of Materials, this book examines how cultural artifacts respond to mechanical effects like vibration and shock, which can threaten their integrity. While conservation literature offers sparse or confusing information on these topics, Dr Wei fills this gap by clearly explaining technical concepts and their relevance, using examples such as the impact of nearby construction on collections or the effects of improper handling. This book is a thorough guide for heritage professionals seeking a clear understanding of the principles for protecting cultural materials from physical damage and provides actionable advice on safeguarding those materials.”
