Experimental Teaching in a Multi-level Exploratory Manner Based on Test Systems for Mechanical Properties of FRP Tubes
Based on college student innovation and entrepreneurship project,the experimental teaching research in a multi-level exploratory manner combing with the cutting-edge researches on the applications of fiber reinforced polymer(FRP)in marine engineering were conducted,in which the test systems for longitudinal compressive and circumferential tensile properties of FRP tubes were studied and designed and a biaxial nonlinear model for FRP tubes was developed.In each level of experimental teaching research,the student members first carried out a guided scientific investigation on a specific topic,followed by a learning/reviewing of relevant frontier knowledge or a training of testing capacity,aiming at developing their comprehensive abilities at this level.The implementation of the present study led to the finding that by focusing on an appropriate issue of scientific research,the muti-level exploratory learning program can not only enable the student members to gain an understanding of the relevant scientific background and knowledges,but also obviously enhance their innovation and teamwork abilities,and cultivate their scientific research literacy.
