Modeling and identification of medieval catapult
Štupák, Jakub ; Křivánek, Václav (referee) ; Grepl, Robert (advisor)
This thesis is about modelling and optimalization of medieval trebuchet and few of his simplified variants. First part contains information about similar siege engines, description of working principles of medieval trebuchets and his parameters used in history. In practical part have been created four modes of trebuchet with different level of simplification. Subsequently have been calculated range and efficiency of this system in dependence on his parameters. These parameters have been optimized to obtain maximum range, and obtained results have been compared between models. Lastly real, scaled model of trebuchet have been made, and his motion have been compared with motion of computer-based model. With this computer-based model have been also obtained optimal parameters of scaled trebuchet.
