  The specialty began to recruit the Master degree candidates in 1979, and began to recruit doctors in 1985. It has the right to award master and doctorate degrees, and it set up the mobile station for the post-doctors in 1995. Its teaching and scientific research makes a remarkable achievement. It is one of the domestic famous teaching research units.

  The specialty pays attention to the development of theoretical foundation, engineering application and cross specialties of general mechanic. It correlates closely the front of present specialty with relevant national economic projects, and makes deep theoretical, computing and experimental research on respects such as multi-body system dynamics, dynamics of fluid-filled system, nonlinear dynamics, rotor dynamics, vibration theory, etc. Great achievements have already been made in dynamics and computer-aided analysis in fields such as spacecraft, vehicle, robot, rotor dynamics, and sports. The specialty has been awarded many prizes in science and technologies by State Natural Science , Ministry of Education , Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics , State Physical Culture and Sports Commission, etc. There are four professors and five associate professors available at present.

  The specialty is equipped with a general mechanics laboratory, float testing platforms, laser dynamic testing equipments, vibration and striking testing equipments, etc. It is also equipped with an artificial dynamics centre, and large-scale engineering FEM analyzing software such as MSC (Patran, Nastran, unless Dytran, Marc,Fatigue), Dets and Adams, etc. It provides graduate students with a fine experimental and computing condition.

  I. Training Objectives
  To cultivate advanced all-round scientific research talents who are developing-- morally, intelligently and physically; these talents possess a solid foundation of specialized theory and computing technology; possess the basic ability of developing dynamics and controlling computer-aided analyzing software; possess the ability of using general software or basic theories to solve the practical engineering problem. They all have a healthy body and are willing to devote themselves into science and the cause of social modernization.
