  4. 2. Static and time-dependent mechanical behaviour of preserved archaeological wood : Case studies of the seventeenth century warship Vasa

    Author : Alexey Vorobyev; Kristofer Gamstedt; Eiichi Obataya; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; archaeological wood; compression test; cubic samples; elastic constants; oak wood; barrelling formation; quasi-static loading; resonant ultrasound spectroscopy RUS ; Vasa ship; creep; 3D laser scanning; Time-dependent behaviour;

    Abstract : Wooden objects have been widely used in the history of humanity and play an important role in our cultural heritage. The preservation of such objects is of great importance and can be a challenging task. This thesis investigates the static and time-dependent mechanical behaviour of archaeological oak wood from the Vasa warship. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sulfur-Related Conservation Concerns in Marine Archaeological Wood : The Origin, Speciation and Distribution of Accumulated Sulfur with Some Remedies for the Vasa

    Author : Yvonne Fors; Magnus Sandström; Ian MacLeod; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sulfur accumulation; marine archaeological wood; Vasa; acidity; iron; ammonia; x-ray spectroscopy; cellulose; Chemistry; Kemi; strukturkemi; Structural Chemistry;

    Abstract : Synchrotron-based sulfur spectroscopy reveals a common concern for marine archaeological wood from seawater: accumulation of reduced sulfur compounds in two pathways. The distribution of sulfur species in the oak wood cell structure was mapped by scanning x-ray spectro-microscopy (SXM). READ MORE
