In heritage science, nothing matters more than non-destructive research methods. For this reason, almost every project uses a powerful tool that has become available quite recently – computer simulations. This set of computational techniques allows you to predict the interactions between model elements and the environment.
In the GRIEG project, modeling is carried out by our partners at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Yesterday, one of many working meetings was held, during which we discussed the progress and challenges in creating a model of the multi-layer structure of a painting covered with a network of cracks.
Our team can contribute using experience in similar simulations – we recommend you read the article in Wood Science & Technology on the fracture saturation in panel paintings:

The three-dimensional model of the crack network in panel painting comes from our article: Abdollahzadeh Jamalabadi M., Zabari N., Bratasz Ł., Three-dimensional numerical and experimental study of fracture saturation in panel paintings, Wood Sci Technol, 2021
