Abstract

In this paper, an innovative approach to analyze the performance of one of the basic mechanical system “Trebuchet” is discussed. An efficient simulation approach is developed for ‘The motion of a Trebuchet’ analysis. The developed simulation tool provides the access for all possible parametric variations so that the theoretical concepts are visualized easily by very simple simulation process. The process of development of the simulator is briefed in this paper. Simulations can be efficiently used to analyze the behavior of a Trebuchet system. For diverse patterns of control parameters, the system design can be tested using simulations and the most efficient system can be implemented in real time. Likewise, this paper explains in detail how the motion of a trebuchet is effectively analyzed using simulation by giving extreme conditional parameters. HTML, CSS and JavaScript tools are used to develop this simulation.
