“…In an excellent example of a retrospective cohort study, a group of 34 deteriorated books from the New York Public Library was compared with duplicates supplied by other libraries from around the United States to show the effects of urban air pollution on paper (Kimberly and Emley, 1933). Similar, although less convincing, was an approach applied to analyzing the relationship between heating energy and cumulative damage to painted wood in historic churches (Melin and Legner, 2014) and, recently, to a wooden furniture collection (Ekelund et al, 2014). Suzanne Keene's assessment treatment study for archaeological iron follows an explicit epidemiological design employing survival probability and life tables (Keene, 1994).…”

<div>In late 2016, “The Mechanics of Art Materials and Its Future in Heritage Science: A Seminar and Symposium” was held at the Smithsonian Institution’s historic Arts and Industries Building. Organized by the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute (MCI) and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation, the two-day event brought experts in mechanics research from across the globe to discuss current and future trends in the study and preservation of cultural heritage. Speakers represented a continuum of innovative mechanics research in the cultural heritage sector, from its origins at the Smithsonian to current professionals working to shape the field and train future generations of scholars. The event began with the popular paint mechanics workshop created and taught by MCI senior research scientist emeritus Marion Mecklenburg, condensed into a single-day seminar of lectures and discussion. The second day featured an international group of speakers and case studies on the state of mechanics research around the globe, with an afternoon program focused on emerging U.S.-based speakers and their thoughts on the future of the field. This volume reflects a collaborative view of cultural heritage research in mechanics; beginning with a review of mechanics research at the Smithsonian Institution and followed by the nine papers presented by the symposium speakers, this publication incorporates the work of 15 national and international research centers. The Appendix includes a bibliography of Dr. Mecklenburg’s publications and his previously unpublished 1982 report on the mechanical behavior of painting materials.</div>

“…Arnold and Zehnder [9] showed the nonrecurring deterioration of wall paintings in a monastery to be a result of the lowered relative humidity by a central heating system. Melina and Legnérb [10] showed a slight correlation between damage to the paint on the pulpits and energy released in the churches. Periodic heating for sermons, weddings and funerals in churches can cause high temperature and relative humidity fluctuation which causes extensive damage to a church interior.…”

“…A thick ground layer means the cracks are separate from the support. In fractal behavior of surface oxide crack patterns exposed to the environment, those parameters later are used as cumulative damage to painted wood in the places such as museums or historic churches [13]. Hierarchical crack patterns as formed by successive domain divisions are studied by Bohn et al [14,15].…”

In the subject of cultural heritage, understanding how craquelure develops and how it affects historical objects—especially panel paintings—is of importance. Here a bilayer system of panel painting made of gesso and wood support is considered. Gesso is a primed surface to adhere to oil. Because it is composed of paint pigment, chalk, and binder it has complex mechanical and chemical properties. The fully nonlinear gesso moisture expansion model is both used in this research to find the optimal rectangular patterns based on constructal theory. The constructal theory is utilized, which is in charge of the crack development during the initial drying phases of the produced painting. The compromise of two mechanisms—diffusion of moisture content and advection drying by fluid flow through the cracks—detects the ideal scale of rectangular patterns because the constructal theory is based on increased access to the drying currents that flow through the crack pattern. The two-dimensional rectangular solid is dried by the normal air fluid flow at the boundaries while moisture diffusion happens inside the domain. The spacing between blocks of crack islands which has the smallest drying time is then determined using parametric research as an optimal configuration. The capability of the constructal theory is shown by comparing the numerical findings with prior research and experimental data that have already been obtained. The approach and findings are generalizable to different craquelure pattern kinds and structural conservators.
