The ballistic performance of the bombard Mons Meg

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2016
The bombard Mons Meg, located in Edinburgh Castle, with a diameter of 19 inches (48 cm), was one of the largest calibre cannons ever built. Constructed in 1449 and presented to King James II of Scotland in 1454, Mons Meg was used in both military and ...

Models and Methods for Three External Ballistics Inverse Problems

open access: yesBulletin of the South Ural State University. Series "Mathematical Modelling, Programming and Computer Software", 2017
We consider three problems of selecting optimal gun barrel direction (or those of selecting optimal semiaxis position) when firing an unguided artillery projectile on the assumption that the gun barrel semiaxis can move in a connected nonconvex cone having a non-smooth lateral surface and modelling visibility zone restrictions.

A diagram to facilitate the study of external ballistics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, 1916
Abstract The semi-graphical method about to do described enables solutions of many dynamical problems of a practical nature to do obtained with ease and rapidity. In particular, useful solutions can be found of problems relating to motion in a resisting medium in cases where the resistance is given as a function of the velocity which ...
