PhD Studentship - Oxford, United Kingdom - University of Oxford
Description
4-year DPhil studentship [under the AHRC's Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) scheme]
Supervisors: Prof Manolis Chatzis (University of Oxford), Catherine Higgitt, Lynne Harrison and Christine Riding (National Gallery)
Project partner: Tomasz Galikowski (Bickerdike Allen Partners)
As heritage institutions seek to use their collections and buildings in ways never previously considered to engage audiences and raise income, this often has the unintended consequence of increasing vibration exposure.
This project focuses on improving understanding of the risks of direct exposure of Old Master paintings to music- or sound-induced vibration. While questions remain regarding vibration-induced failure mechanisms in paintings and the role of different transmission pathways for sound vibration, it is clear that sound exposes paintings to a mechanical load that can cause vibration and thus potential damage.
The project will suggest useful guidelines to monitor and mitigate this risk, through sensor placement and providing guidelines regarding the speaker setup.
Award Value
CDP doctoral training grants fund full-time studentships for 4 years or part-time equivalent up to a maximum of 8 years.
