Investigating Strains on the Oseberg Ship Using Photogrammetry and Finite Element Modeling MAT-VET-F 20002 Examensarbete 15 hp June 2020 Investigating strains on the Oseberg ship using photogrammetry and finite element modeling Andreas Eriksson Erik Thermaenius Abstract Investigating strains on the Oseberg ship using photogrammetry and finite element modeling Andreas Eriksson, Erik Thermaenius Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten The Oseberg ship is known as one of the finest surviving artifacts from the Viking age, with origins dated back to the 800s. The ship has been displayed in the Viking ship Besöksadress: museum in Oslo since 1926. The nearly 100 years on museum display along with the Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 over 1000 years it was buried has weakened the structure of the ship. To slow down Hus 4, Plan 0 the deterioration, several research projects has been initiated, among them the project ''Saving Oseberg''. A part of ''Saving Oseberg'' is contributing to the planning Postadress: of a new museum for the ship. As a basis for the planning, the ship has been Box 536 751 21 Uppsala monitored with photogrammetry. This is intended as a way to visualise the deformation and displacements of the ship due to seasonal changes in indoor Telefon: temperature and humidity. 018 – 471 30 03 Telefax: In this thesis the photogrammetry data from the hull of the ship was used to make a 018 – 471 30 00 finite element model, and through this model calculate the average strain on each element. The method was based on a previous research project conducted on the Hemsida: Swedish warship Vasa by a research group at the Division of Applied Mechanics at http://www.teknat.uu.se/student Uppsala University. The measurements of the ship was formed into a hull by Delaunay triangulation. The strain was approximated as a Green strain and evaluated using isoparametric mapping of the elements. Through the nodal displacements, the strain was evaluated by approximating the elements as tetrahedrons and calculating the average strain from these elements between the measurements. The result showed an oscillating behavior of the displacements, proving the proposal of seasonal depending displacements. The measured principal strains also matched to the corresponding relative humidity fluctuation during the year. The strain magnitude was relatively even throughout the ship, mostly varying between ±0.4% but certain areas were more subjected than others. A few elements on the starboard side showed very large strains through most of the measurements, this seemed very unusual and was probably the result of inaccuracies or errors in the data. Though the ship is subjected to relative small strains and permanent displacements after annual cycles, the mechano-sorptive strains may lead to accumulated deformation and eventually failure in the weak parts of the wood or at the high stress concentraion parts. In addition, the cyclic strain even in elastic range may cause fatigue failure in any material which could pose a large threat for the future conservation of the ship. Handledare: Kristofer Gamstedt, Reza Afshar Ämnesgranskare: Johan Gising Examinator: Martin Sjödin ISSN: 1401-5757, MAT-VET-F 20002 Tryckt av: Uppsala Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Osebergsskeppet är känd som en av de bäst bevarade och mest åtråvärda artefakterna som överlevt från Vikingatiden. Det stora långskeppet med en omkrets på över 40 meter hittades i en gravplats utanför staden Tønsberg i Norge år 1904 och grävdes upp följande år av arkeologerna Haakon Shetelig och Gabriel Gustafson. Till en början förvarades skeppet i en av Oslo Universitets lokaler till dess att Vikingaskeppsmuséet slog upp sina dörrar år 1926, där det befunnit sig sedan dess. Trots att skeppet inte brytits ned under de 1000 år det varit begravet har denna process nu ökat takten. Ett flertal forskningsprojekt har initierats för att sakta ned nedbrytningen och möjliggöra skeppets förefintlighet, bland annat det pågående ”Saving Oseberg”. Då museet som huserar Osbergsskeppet är en gammal byggnad som saknar en modern klimatanläg- gning vilken kan reglerar inomhustemperatur och luftfuktighet till ideala förhållanden så ingår det i ”Saving Oseberg” att bidra med projekteringen till det nya muséet. En forskare har som underlag till projekteringen för den nya muséebyggnaden gjort punktmätningar över skrovet på skeppet med jämna mellanrum. Målet med dessa mätningar är att se hur de uppmätta punkterna förflyttas mellan mättillfällena vilket ger möjlighet att analysera deformationen av skeppet. Detta var syftet med det presenterade kandidatarbetet, som innebar att skapa en modell av skeppet från all mätdata och utifrån förflyttningarna i mätdatan översätta det till töjningar i skrovet på skeppet i %. Mätdatan på skeppet analyserades med programvaran Matlab, där det sammanfogades och tri- angulerades till ett tvådimensionellt skal av skrovet. Utifrån förflyttningarna av mätpunkterna, beräknades den genomsnittliga töjningen på varje triangel (även kallat element) som bygger upp skrovet för varje mätning. Töjning visualiserades med hjälp av en färgskala, där negativ och positiv töjning färgade elementen blå respektive röda. Detta gjorde det enkelt att överblicka skeppet och identifiera s.k. ”hotspots” som utsätts för större töjningar än övriga delar på skeppet. Dessutom visualiserades medelvärdet av mätpunkternas förflyttningar vid varje mättillfälle för de två sidorna på skeppet i en graf. Resultatet visade att det fanns delar på skeppet som var mer utsatta än andra, särskilt utsatt var relingen runt båten och delar av kölen. Detta förklarades enklast av att relingen saknar samma stöd som resten av skrovet och eftersom ungefär halva tyngden av skeppet vilar på kölen medför detta en högre belastning och därmed större töjningar. Halva tyngden eftersom den andra halvan är fördelat på stöttor runt sidorna av skeppet. När medelvärdet av förflyttningarna studerades uppmärksammades ett cykliskt beteende av förflyttningarna på babordsidan vilket troligen beror på årstidsvariationer i temperatur och luftfuktighet, då förflyttningar återfanns på ungefär samma positioner ett år senare. Styrbordsidan var dock mycket mer utsatt och hade ett delvis cyklisk beteende men att utslagen var betydligt högre. För alla skeppets delar syntes även flera element vars töjning var flera storleksordningar högre än elementen runt om. Detta var väldigt orimligt, och vad det berodde på blev inte klarlagt. Troligen något fel i den ursprungliga mätdatan. Slutsatsen blev att skeppet utsätts för töjningar, att dessa skiljde sig på olika delar av skeppet och att förflyttningarna varierade cykliskt under året. Med viss osäkerhet inkluderat så var resultatet relativt väntat och rimligt. i Acknowledgements We, the authors of this thesis, would first of all like to express our gratitude towards our supervi- sors, professor Kristofer Gamstedt and researcher Reza Afshar from the Division of Applied Mechanics at Uppsala University. Both for introducing the project to us and for their guidance and valuable input throughout the project. Along with their previous work on a similar project which has been a helpful inspiration for the general structure of this thesis. Secondly, we want to thank doctoral research fellow David Hauer from the Department of Col- lection Management at Oslo University who is the researcher from ”Saving Oseberg” behind this project. His help with supplying us with the data and answering all our question regarding the data and ”Saving Osberg”-project in general was much appreciated. We would also like to thank our project mentor, researcher Johan Gising from the Division of Drug Design and Discovery and the Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials at Uppsala University. His effort in managing the stage-gates, and his positive feedback and support when the project was falling behind the planned time schedule was a great help in keeping us on track. Finally, we would like to acknowledge our dear classmates who kept us company during the whole time span of the project. From the lunches in the sun, to the activities on the nights and weekends was truly delightful highlights which kept our moral high considering the unexpected pandemic which fully broke out just days prior to the start of the project. Without their contributions, this thesis would not had been made possible.

    242 Salvage Stories, Preserving Narratives, and Museum Ships Andrew Sawyer* Abstract Preserved ships and other vessels are associated with a historiography, in Europe at least, which is still marked by parochialism, antiquarianism, and celebratory narrative. Many evidence difficult histories, and they are also extremely expensive to preserve. Yet, they are clearly valued, as nations in Europe invest heavily in them. This survey examines a range of European examples as sites of cultural, political and national identity. An analytical framework foregrounding the role of narrative and story reveals three aspects to these exhibits: explicit stories connected with specific nations, often reinforcing broader, sometimes implicit, national narratives; and a teleological sequence of loss, recovery and preservation, influenced by nationality, but very similar in form across Europe. Key words: European; maritime; ships; narrative; nationalism; identity; museums. Introduction European nations value their maritime and fluvial heritage, especially as manifested in ships and boats. What may be the world’s oldest watercraft, from around 8,000 BC, is preserved at the Drents Museum in Assen, the Netherlands (Verhart 2008: 165), whilst Greece has a replica of a classical Athenian trireme, and Oslo has ships similar to those used by the Norse to reach America. Yet, such vessels are implicated in a problematic historiography (Smith 2011) tending to parochialism and antiquarianism (Harlaftis 2010: 214; Leffler 2008: 57-8; Hicks 2001), and which often (for whatever reason) avoids new historiographical approaches in favour of conventional celebratory narratives (Witcomb 2003: 74). They are also linked to well-known problematic histories of imperialism and colonialism. They are sites of gender bias: ‘Vasa has from its construction to its excavation been the prerogative and the playground of men’ (Maarleveld 2007: 426), and they are still popularly seen as providing access to ‘toys for boys’ (Gardiner 2009: 70).

  • The Archaeology of the Smith House (Orya3), Dayton, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Helen Delight Stone for the degree of Masters of Arts in AppliedAnthropology presented on June 11, 1997. Title: The Archaeology of the Smith House(ORYA3), Dayton, Oregon. Redacted for privacy David Brauner Site ORYA3, the Smith House, is located in Dayton, Oregon. Thearchaeological project originated because owners of this structure, listed on the National Registerof Historic Places, applied for a demolition permit. The 1859 home, firstoccupied by two early Oregon pioneers, Andrew and Sarah Smith, was considered architecturally significant, an unique example of a territorial period home. In the years since 1859,the original building construction has not been significantly modified, nor have thegrounds been looted or substantially altered. Dr. David Brauner and the Oregon StateUniversity Anthropology Department began an archaeological project at this location inanticipation of the destruction, the first time in Oregon that archaeologists have excavatedthe interior of a standing house. The longevity of occupation, site taphonomy, and episodes of floor repair overthe years created a mixed context. The research directionfor this thesis matches a statistical and descriptive analysis of a sample of the material culture with informationgathered from published and unpublished archival data from the Smith house. The thesisexamines cultural material found on this site and provides a basis for comparison withother similar archaeological sites. Dayton history is discussed, to provide a broad contextwithin which to interpret the archaeological data. Occupancy background onthe various residents is provided. This thesis provides a general analysis of the 10,609 artifacts andtheir associated provenience. This thesis is a cautionary tale for historic archaeologistsworking on domestic sites.

  • Signs and Symbols Represented in Germanic, Particularly Early Scandinavian, Iconography Between the Migration Period and the End of the Viking Age
    Signs and symbols represented in Germanic, particularly early Scandinavian, iconography between the Migration Period and the end of the Viking Age Peter R. Hupfauf Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Sydney, 2003 Preface After the Middle Ages, artists in European cultures concentrated predominantly on real- istic interpretations of events and issues and on documentation of the world. From the Renaissance onwards, artists developed techniques of illusion (e.g. perspective) and high levels of sophistication to embed messages within decorative elaborations. This develop- ment reached its peak in nineteenth century Classicism and Realism. A Fine Art interest in ‘Nordic Antiquity’, which emerged during the Romantic movement, was usually expressed in a Renaissance manner, representing heroic attitudes by copying Classical Antiquity. A group of nineteenth-century artists, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Holman Hunt and Everett Millais founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. John Ruskin, who taught aesthetic theory at Oxford, became an associate and public defender of the group. The members of this group appreciated the symbolism and iconography of the Gothic period. Rossetti worked together with Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. Morris was a great admirer of early Scandinavian cultures, and his ideas were extremely influential for the development of the English Craft Movement, which originated from Pre-Raphaelite ideology. Abstraction, which developed during the early twentieth century, attempted to communicate more directly with emotion rather then with the intellect. Many of the early abstract artists (Picasso is probably the best known) found inspiration in tribal artefacts. However, according to Rubin (1984), some nineteenth-century primitivist painters appreciated pre-Renaissance European styles for their simplicity and sincerity – they saw value in the absence of complex devices of illusio-nist lighting and perspective.

  • The Edkits and Inquiry-Based Learning: What, Why and How? What: Effective Inquiry Involves More Than Just Asking Questions
    The EdKits and Inquiry-based Learning: What, Why and How? What: Effective inquiry involves more than just asking questions. When students work to convert information and data into useful knowledge, it involves a complex process. The successful application of inquiry learning involves several factors: - a context for questions - a framework for questions - a focus for questions - different levels of questions Well-designed inquiry learning results in the formation of knowledge that can be widely applied and appreciated by the student. Why: Memorizing facts and information is no longer as important a skill as it once was in our world. Facts change, and information is readily available through a wide variety of media; what today’s student must do is learn how to retrieve, organize and identify patterns in the mass of data. Students must extend themselves beyond mass data and information accumulation and move toward creating useful and applicable knowledge. This process is aided and supported by inquiry learning. Through the process of inquiry, students construct much of their understanding of the world, both natural and human-designed, past and present. Inquiry implies a "need or want to know" premise. The content of particular disciplines is very important, but as a means to an end, rather than as an end in itself. The knowledge base for disciplines is constantly expanding and changing. History as a discipline is no exception. Inquiry is not so much seeking the correct answer, because often there is none. Instead, inquiry seeks appropriate resolutions to questions and issues. How: Although questioning and searching for answers are extremely important parts of inquiry, there must be a conceptual context for learning.
