Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of steel structure teaching practice, and in particular to a steel frame structure demonstration experiment system and method. Background Art

[0002] The course "Basic Principles of Steel Structures" is a compulsory course for civil engineering majors in colleges and universities. It is based on material mechanics, theoretical mechanics, and structural mechanics, and combines the mechanical properties of steel to explore the force characteristics and design methods of axially loaded components, bending components, compression (tension) bending components, and various types of connections and nodes.

[0003] Currently, the teaching method for the "Basic Principles of Steel Structures" course in colleges and universities is primarily theoretical. However, this traditional theoretical teaching method, which focuses on formula derivation and conceptual explanation, often fails to achieve the expected teaching results. A considerable number of students struggle to establish a comprehensive knowledge framework for the course. Furthermore, the wide variety of node structures and the relatively complex assembly process in steel structures often make it difficult for students to intuitively understand them through images and lectures. Traditional teaching methods make it even more difficult for students to establish the corresponding relationship between steel structure structure and stress characteristics.

[0004] Therefore, introducing experimental links in the "Basic Principles of Steel Structures" class allows students to intuitively understand the various structures and corresponding stress characteristics in typical steel frame structures, and enables students to establish an overall knowledge framework for the "Basic Principles of Steel Structures" course, which has become an inevitable trend in the development of this course teaching.

By demonstrating these various construction states, students can gain a clear understanding of the actual construction process, overcoming the drawback of traditional classroom teaching, where students rely solely on imagination to recreate the construction process, and fostering a strong interest in the course.

[0087] The present invention uses virtual simulation technology to enable students to understand the stress and deformation states of various structural components under different loading conditions (one or more weights and weight plates can be placed in different positions to simulate different loading conditions) and different connection methods (hinged or rigid) during the steel structure construction process, as well as the stress concentration phenomenon at each node, and intuitively understand the key positions of steel structures in different structural assembly processes and stress conditions; driven by curiosity, they pursue the physical principles behind various phenomena, thereby greatly improving their learning interest and grades in the course, and the practical effect is excellent.
