“…Finite-element modelling 68 It is used in predicting the wreck degradation timeline of VSS Arizona It is delineated that by 2020, 20% of hull steel will be lost, whereas by 2050, loss is expected to be 30%. By 2021, complete loss is expected.…”

Archaeomaterials suffer from various degradation such as atmospheric corrosion, under-deposit corrosion and underwater corrosion etc.; however, the extent of degradation depends on the composition of materials, environment, manufacturing process and post-processing technology such as surface treatment like carburization etc. The corrosion (degradation) phenomenon of ferrous artefacts is very complex and has received significant attention for understanding the ancient metal technology and for designing the conservation pathway of historical artefacts. This review highlights the mechanism of degradation under different environments and also paves a path for the future studies by using different analytical techniques to advance the existing knowledge.

“…Many cracks were also observed on the hull of the Emmons during our scuba survey, raising concerns about some deterioration of the metal. The data obtained in this study will contribute to the detailed monitoring of the wreck in the future, as seen in studies of USS Arizona (Foecke et al ., ), for future preservation assessment.…”

The USS Emmons, a 106m US Navy Gleaves-class destroyer minesweeper that sank in 40m of water off Okinawa Island, Japan after kamikaze attack in 1945, is used as a case study for examining the history, multivocal significance, and heritage management of a World War II naval battle site. A baseline record of the site was made using an innovative method incorporating precise control points obtained from high-resolution multibeam echosounding bathymetry to generate 3D models using structure-from-motion photogrammetry. The 3D models produced can be used for sharing information about this underwater cultural heritage and for future in situ monitoring of the archaeological remains.

“…The model incorporates fi eld and experimental data that most directly addresses questions regarding how quickly Arizona is deteriorating. The FEM incorporates data gathered from other studies and synthesizes them into a computer-based mathematical projection depicting actual structural deterioration in calendar years, which are derived from measured and estimated corrosion rates (Foecke & Ma, 2008;Foecke et al, 2010).…”

“…Failure analysts at NIST completed an FEM of Arizona's midships section and conducted a FEA of the vessel in 2008 (Figure 7) (Foecke & Ma, 2008;Foecke et al, 2010). We believe the 80 ft (25 m) hull section selected for analysis, from frames 70 to 90, to be representative of the rest of the ship, and its investigation and analysis fi gure 7 Image showing the level of meshing on the fi nite element model.…”

National Park Service's Submerged Resources Center has been coordinating research on the sunken battleship USS Arizona, in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii since 1998. This article outlines a research strategy and results of investigations into the nature and rate of the ship's corrosion, the status of the nearly 2.3 million litres of fuel oil still aboard the vessel, and our approach to managing a site that is both an historic war grave and a potential environmental threat. This project was designed to be a model for underwater cultural heritage site management internationally, specifi cally for other historic vessels leaking contaminants into the environment, and to produce results directly applicable to preservation and management of historical iron and steel vessels worldwide.
