Mechanical behavior of the imperial carroballista

摘要: Abstract A reconstruction of an artillery piece the Roman Imperial Army and a mechanical study device is presented. The based on some bas reliefs Trajan Column Aurelian investigations authors. By means mathematical model machine, behavior machine itself hence range figures possible projectiles are computed. shows that such lightweight cart mounted war represented powerful effective close support for Legions. finite element code torsion springs constituting elastic motors were also analyzed.
