in cultural heritage



Vibmech.nl provides consulting, monitoring and testing services in the mechanical properties and testing of materials for the conservation and preservation of objects of art and cultural heritage.
Vibmech.nl specializes in measurement techniques borrowed from the engineering specialty known as tribology. The company assists conservators in determining changes in the roughness/texture of surfaces using glossmeters and profilometers, and relating that to subjective changes in appearance.
Vibmech.nl also provides assistance with the restoration of mechanical works of art and cultural heritage.
