  This specialty began to recruit graduate students in 1963 and doctors in 1982. It is one of the earliest specialties in the country that had the right to award master and doctorate. In 1995 it set up the mobile station for the post-doctors. Its teaching and scientific research makes a remarkable achievement, and it is among the most famous teaching and research units in the country. Now there are eleven professors and six associate professors.

   The specialty pays attention to the theoretical foundation, engineering application and the development of cross specialties of solid mechanics. It closely correlates the frontiers of the specialty with relevant engineering projects in domestic economy. Based on such courses as continuum mechanics, computational mechanics, engineering control and mechanical properties of materials, etc., the specialty makes a deep theoretical and practical research on such respects as mechanics of composite materials, electromagnetic solid mechanics, computational analysis of fracture, fatigue and structure, constitutive and macro-micro mechanics, boundary mechanics, computational materials, carbon nanotube mechanics, engineering structure control and trouble diagnosis.

   The specialty has a solid mechanics laboratory with such advanced equipment as loading MTS of both single and dual axles, holographic laser, function testing of electromechanical coupling ,etc. as well as 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 senior talents with solid basic theory and systematical specialized knowledge of solid mechanics. These talents are supposed to grasp one or two foreign language, and have a strong ability in application of modern computer technology and modern experiment technology. They can take on or organize scientific research and specialized technological jobs independently, and make innovative results.
  
  II. Main Research Directions
  1. Evaluation for structure fracture, damage, fatigue and safety.
  2. Computational materials and structure optimize design
  3. Mechanics of composite materials and boundary mechanics
  4. Mechanics of nanometer materials and intelligent materials
  5. Constitutive theory and macro-micro mechanics
  6. Stability and ramification of nonlinear system, and vibration, control and trouble diagnosis of structure
  7. Modern experimental mechanics
  8. Biological and medical mechanics

  III. Length of Schooling and Credits
  The full-time doctorial students’ length of schooling is 3 years. The total credits must get requested 17 credits at least. Semi-sabbatical doctorial students’ period of schooling can be prolonged for another one year or two years as approved.
The master-doctors’ length of schooling is 3 years. The total credits must get requested 47 credits at least, among them the credits for their master degree study must get requested 30 credits at least, and doctorate study17 at least.
