古机械复原研究的方法与程序

古机械的复原是以一古机械原型为本体,根据古代的机械原理、机械工程、以及工艺技术等,重新建构此一机械.本研究以古中国机械为对象,根据史料成分进行分类,并提出一复原研究程序,有系统地建构古机械原型及古代机械科技和工艺,目的在提供研究机械史学领域的一个创新方法.

Approach and Procedure of Reconstruction Researchfor Ancient Machinery

The reconstruction of ancient machinery is to rebuild the machinery by applying ancient mechanical principles,mechanical engineering,and technique skills to an original machine design.This research aims at presenting reconstruction research procedures,which are derived from the classifications of historic documentation on ancient machinery,so as to systematically rebuild ancient machinery prototypes as well as ancient mechanical technologies and skills.This work provides an innovative approach in the field of mechanical historiography.
