中外土木工程防灾专业结构动力学课程比较研究

在土木工程高等教育系列课程中,结构动力学课程作为不可或缺的重要分支,对在动力荷载作用下的结构进行受力及传力规律分析,并对相关工程结构进行优化等方面有重要作用。文章主要以新加坡国立大学、加州大学伯克利分校、麻省理工学院和同济大学为例,从课程要求、课程内容等多个层面对该课程设置进行探索和对比研究,发现各大学结构动力学课程的设置情况和课程内容,与大学研究生教育的特点和研究方向,以及所处国家或地区地理位置等因素有关。最后根据分析结果,提出相应的适合中国国情的教学建议。

A comparative study on structural dynamics course of disaster prevention specialty in Chinese and foreign universities

As an indispensable part of civil engineering higher education courses, structural dynamics is applied to help designers to analyze and optimize the structural response under dynamic loadings. This paper studied the curriculum provision of structural dynamics course of Tongji University, UC Berkeley, National University of Singapore and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and compared each of them by course requirements, course contents and so on. Conclusions that the curriculum provision of structural dynamics course is connected with research features, characteristics of graduate education and locations were drawn. The corresponding reform schemes suitable for China conditions were put forwarded.
