Residual Strain Scanning of Medieval double-edged sword from the Royal Armouries
Abstract: The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of Viking swords began to exhibit a slender blade geometry, moving the centre of mass closer to the hilt. We propose to measure on ENGINX the residual strain in the blade and the grip of the Medieval 2-edged sword of the Royal Armouries: IX 2141.
