Mechanics

Brief Introduction

Department of Mechanics was founded by Prof. Lingxi Qian, the academician of Chinese Academy of Science, and Prof. Limin Tang, at Dalian University of Technology (DUT) in 1957. In 1981, it was firstly authorized to offer doctoral degree. In 1985, a postdoctoral research station on mechanics was found. In 1987, the discipline of Computational Mechanics was authorized as a National Key Discipline. In 1996, the discipline of Mechanics, as a first-level discipline, was authorized to confer the doctoral degree. In 2001, the discipline of Engineering Mechanics was authorized as the National Key Discipline. In 2007, Mechanics was authorized as the first level National Key Discipline. Now, there are 12 sub-disciplines under this first-level National Key Discipline, including General Mechanics and Mechanics Fundamentals, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics, Applied and Experimental Mechanics, Computational Mechanics, Geotechnical and Environmental Mechanics, Dynamics and Control, Applied and Experimental Mechanics, Biomechanics and Nanomechanics, Aerospace Engineering Mechanics, Manufacture Processing Mechanics, Biomedical Engineering.

The high-level academic staff consists of 41 professors, of whom 3 are academicians of Chinese Academy of Science, 6 are Chair Professors of “Cheung Kong Scholars Programme”, 4 gained the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and the Joint Research Fund for Overseas Natural Science of China. The department was the first to be awarded the University Science Fund for Innovative Research Group of National Natural Science Foundation in 2004.

The research in mechanics at Dalian University of Technology is highly recognized. It is locating the leading edge in the nation and has international reputation. Each year there are about 170 postgraduates joining the department for master degree and doctoral degree.
