A methodology for the use of alkyd paint in thermally aged easel painting reconstructions for mechanical testing

Daniele Barbera et al.

Summary: Understanding the fracture mechanisms and environmental effects on the physical properties of painted cultural heritage on wooden substrates is crucial for their preservation. Previous research has focused on individual constituent layers, but more work is needed to represent the heterogeneous composite structure of easel paintings. Fracture mechanics concepts have been applied to glue and glue/chalk multilayers, but experiments on multilayers that include oil paint are limited due to the long drying time. This paper presents a methodology using thermally aged alkyd paint for mechanical testing in easel painting reconstructions, serving as a substitute for naturally aged traditional linseed oil paint. Elastic and failure properties of the paint were obtained through controlled tensile tests. The methodology provides a viable way to study the behavior of a simplified but complete multilayer system.

Shrinkage and mechanical properties of drying oil paints

Arkadiusz Janas et al.

Summary: Understanding the molecular composition of an oil paint layer and its impact on dimensional change and mechanical properties is crucial for assessing the durability and degradation risk of oil paintings. This study found that oil paints become stiffer and more brittle after drying, with some paints even more vulnerable to cracking than the ground layer. The shrinkage of paints during drying and aging can lead to cracking, even without fluctuations in humidity or temperature. X-ray microtomography was used to demonstrate cracking in an oil paint layer on top of an undamaged ground layer in a historic panel painting.

Moisture-induced cracking in a flexural bilayer with application to historical paintings

E. Bosco et al.

Summary: This study addresses crack channelling in a brittle, flexural bilayer focusing on historical paintings. It shows that in historical paintings, crack channelling with delamination can be avoided when the delamination toughness exceeds the mode I toughness of the paint layer, preserving the visual appearance of the painting. The failure maps constructed in this study provide a useful tool for museum conservators to identify acceptable indoor humidity and temperature variations to prevent degradation of historical paintings by crack channelling and delamination.

A numerical investigation of interfacial and channelling crack growth rates under low-cycle fatigue in bi-layer materials relevant to cultural heritage

R. Zhang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the formation and expansion of cracks in oil paintings, discussing the influence of environmental factors on crack growth and proposing relative humidity cycles as a possible cause of low-cycle fatigue. Novel finite element models were utilized to determine the initiation time and growth rate of different types of cracks under various environmental conditions, providing insights for preservation strategies for cultural heritage objects.
