Science Degree Program in China - Engineering Mechanics

1. Introduction

Engineering Mechanics relates to many mechanics branches and a wide range of fields of engineering and technology, is a basic science with strong theory, and has extremely close contact with engineering technology, engineering mechanics theorems, laws and conclusions are widely used in all walks of life of engineering technology, which is the important foundation of practical engineering problems. The most basic part includes statics and mechanics of materials.

2. Research Methods

Three aspects: experimental research, theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. In practice, the three methods are often used together and promote each other.

3. Research Areas

Include experimental mechanics, structural inspection, and structural experiment analysis. Model test can be divided into part model and whole model test. The field test of the structure includes the test of structural members and the test of the whole structure. Experimental research is the main method to verify and develop the theoretical analysis and calculation method. There are other objectives for the field test of the structure:

1) Verify the function and safety of the structure whether conforms to the plan, design and construction requirements of the structure;

2) Verify the soundness of the structure in the use of the stage, and the maintenance and reinforcement of the information.

4. Training Objectives

Engineering mechanics program trains senior engineering and scientific and technical personnel with mechanical basic theory knowledge, calculation and test ability, can be engaged in a variety of engineering (such as machinery, civil engineering, materials, energy, transportation, aviation, shipping, water conservancy and chemical engineering) for mechanical related research, technology development, engineering design and mechanical teaching.
