KG, GermanyImprint: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KISBN-13: 9783662484456, 978-3662484456SynopsisThis book presents a systematic design methodology for decoding the interior structure of the Antikythera mechanism, an astronomical device from ancient Greece. The historical background, surviving evidence and reconstructions of the mechanism are introduced, and the historical development of astronomical achievements and various astronomical instruments are investigated. Pursuing an approach based on the conceptual design of modern mechanisms and bearing in mind the standards of science and technology at the time, all feasible designs of the six lost/incomplete/unclear subsystems are synthesized as illustrated examples, and 48 feasible designs of the complete interior structure are presented. This approach provides not only a logical tool for applying modern mechanical engineering knowledge to the reconstruction of the Antikythera mechanism, but also an innovative research direction for identifying the original structures of the mechanism in the future. In short, the book offers valuable new insights for all readers who are interested in the Antikythera mechanism., Brand New, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Book Title: Decoding the Mechanisms of Antikythera Astronomical Device, Subject Area: Mechanical Engineering, Publication Name: Decoding the Mechanisms of Antikythera Astronomical Device, Subject: Science, Teaching, Publication Year: 2015, Type: Textbook, Format: Hardcover, Language: English, Item Height: 235mm, Item Width: 155mm, Item Weight: 6149g, Number of Pages: 281 Pages, Springer-Verlag Berlin AND Heidelberg Gmbh & Co.
