Teaching the Concepts of the Mechanical Properties of Materials in Conservation by W. (Bill) Wei

“…It provides conservation students with the background to deal with basic issues of the strength of materials and adhesives in their work. The workshop is based on two concepts: 1) teaching the “foreign” technical language of mechanical properties and relating that to everyday laymen’s terms, and 2) having students perform simple mechanical tests which can eventually be used in the conservation studio, without the need for complex and expensive equipment.…”
