Residual Strain and manufacture/working of Sword blades: From Sutton Hoo to the Medieval Two-Edged Sword blade.
We intend to undertake the characterisation of 2 swords using 3-dimensional strain measurements on the Salsa engineering beam line at ILL: The axial strain from hilt to the tip, the transverse strain from edge to edge and the normal strain from face to face. The same characterisation will be performed for 3 the archaeo-reconstructed blade parts representing the Sutton Hoo blade type and the laminar Medieval blade. We request 5 days beam time on Salsa.
