A General Model Relating Externally Applied Forces to Environmentally Induced Stresses in Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
The structural degradation effects of temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) are important considerations in the setting and maintaining of museum environments. An approach to determining the acceptable values for this environment would be useful if a general model could be developed from simple physical (mechanical) measurements. In this paper, a general model is developed in which the mechanical behavior of materials composing museum objects can be described using the easily determined parameters, stress development (force), environmental conditions and dimensional change.
