Construction machines belong to the important kind of machinery which has been playing the significant role in the construction filed. The teaching purpose of this course is to let students know how to solve the latest challenges by using the right simulation design tools or establishing your own simulation tools while facing the complex multi-fields engineering problems for construction machines.
This course is an English-teaching graduate student course, which opened in 1998. The course has been supported by four teaching-reform projects funded by the Fundamental Teaching Funds for the Central Universities. Now, it has evolved into a course for domestic graduate students and international graduate students majoring in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, and Automation.
To meet the demands of the latest construction machinery design, we set up two principles to design our teaching tasks:
1. Cutting-edge Perspective: the viewpoint mode of the top-to-bottom, lets students know the whole picture of the dynamical simulation technology and know how to use simulation tools or build their own simulation tools by standing at the peak of the practical engineering pyramid.
2. Training future-leader: With the Role-based training mode, to train students as the future Chief engineers, let them study and think as a responsible engineering leader.
In this course, first, students will learn how to do the nonlinear finite element analysis, how to implement the simulation visualization for developing your own simulation tools. Then, we will be focusing on the introduction of some special advanced simulation topics, such as: vision simulation used in Construction machinery, Hardware-in-loop system, Simulation in the autonomous operating system of construction machinery.
The teaching team comprises five teachers, who all have doctoral degrees, post-doctoral research careers, and experiences of oversea study or co-research in the top 100 world-famous universities. Within five years, the members of this team have been conducting national, provincial, and industrial research projects as the PI or co-PI.
