The discipline of mechanical design and theory (formerly mine mechanical engineering) of China University of Mining and Technology was founded in 1950. Professor Wang Dingheng, Professor Wang Zhixin and Professor Xu Benchun, who returned from studying in the United States, presided over the work one after another. 1954, Professor davydov, an academician of the former Soviet Academy of Sciences and an expert in mining machinery design, came to our school to hold a graduate class on mining machinery, and trained the first batch of 12 graduate students of mining machinery in New China, which laid a solid foundation for the development of mining machinery in China. 198 1 year, the discipline of "mining machinery engineering" was awarded the first doctoral degree. The discipline of 1997 was adjusted to "Mechanical Design and Theory". 1993 was rated as the key discipline of the Ministry of Coal Industry, 1998 established the State Key Laboratory of Mining Machinery in Coal Industry, and 1999 was approved to set up the postdoctoral mobile station of mechanical engineering. In 2005, it was listed as the only national key discipline of mechanical design and theory in Jiangsu Province, and in 2006, it was listed as the construction discipline of "985 Engineering Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform" in the school. In 2006,

There are currently 4 doctoral supervisors 14, 7 professors 18 associate professors 165438 lecturers, and 28 teachers with doctoral degrees. Among the teachers, 1 won the National Science Fund for Outstanding Young Scholars, 2 won the China Youth Science and Technology Award, 1 was a young and middle-aged technical expert who made outstanding contributions to the country, 1 was selected as the first batch of national candidates for the "100 million talents project in the new century", 5 people enjoyed special government subsidies, and 1 was rated as a national outstanding scientific and technological worker. Two people won the Ministry's New Century Excellent Talents Support Program 1 as young and middle-aged experts who have made outstanding contributions to Jiangsu Province, two people were selected as the first batch of young and middle-aged scientific and technological leaders in the "333 High-level Talents Project" in Jiangsu Province, two people were selected as high-level talents in the "Six Talent Peaks" in Jiangsu Province, seven people were rated as top-notch talents in coal professional technology, four people were rated as outstanding talents in technological innovation in coal industry, and 1 people were nominated for the Jiangsu Young Scientist Award. 1 person won the Jiangsu Youth Science and Technology Award, 1 person won the China Mechanical Engineering Society Youth Science and Technology Achievement Award, 2 people won the Sun Outstanding Youth Science and Technology Award, 2 people won the National Coal Youth Science and Technology Award, and 1 person won the outstanding postdoctoral fellow in Hunan Province.

After years of development, this discipline has formed four research directions with obvious characteristics and advantages: the theory and application of engineering tribology, the design and application of large-scale mining machinery and equipment, mine safety equipment and rescue robots, and the theory and application of mining machinery dynamics. From 200/KLOC-0 to 2006, 396 scientific research projects in related research directions were completed in this discipline, and the actual scientific research funding was 77.83 million yuan. Among them, there are 4 NSFC projects, 2 NSFC key projects 1, 863 plan projects, 2 NSFC projects (of which 1 ranks second), 2 national key scientific and technological projects in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, 2 provincial and ministerial projects 13, 2 international cooperation projects and 34 local government projects, with total funding. The enterprise entrusted 336 scientific research projects with a total fund of 68.57 million yuan.

At present, this discipline undertakes 79 scientific research projects/kloc-0, with a contract fund of 55.22 million yuan. Including 973 Project 1, 863 Plan Project 1, National Natural Science Foundation Key Project 1, National Outstanding Natural Science Foundation 1 (ranked second), National Natural Science Foundation Project 4, New Century Excellent Talents Support Program Project of the Ministry of Education 2, Key Research Project of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Education 2, Doctoral Program Fund Project 3, National ".

During 2000 1-2006, this discipline won 2 second prizes for national technological inventions, 3 first prizes at provincial and ministerial levels, 8 second prizes, published monographs 1 1 and 2 textbooks1. Published 627 papers, including 3 1 paper in SCI and 991paper in EI; Authorized invention patent 1 1, utility model patent 72.

Since 1982, * * has enrolled 2 14 doctoral students and awarded 143 doctoral degrees, of which * * has enrolled 127 doctoral students and awarded 56 doctoral degrees since 200 1.

Since 200 1, this discipline has sent 19 people to Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other universities to pursue their degrees, further study or jointly train doctoral students. Hire 5 foreign professors and 8 domestic professors as visiting professors. Joint scientific research has been carried out with Tsinghua University, Beijing Iron and Steel Research Institute, Shanghai Branch of Coal Research Institute and Taiyuan Branch. Domestic academic conferences such as Engineering Drawing Society of six provinces and one city in East China, china construction machinery society Mining Machinery New Technology Seminar and National Coal Mine Electromechanical New Technology Seminar were held. 156 people attended domestic academic conferences.

This subject has tribology laboratory, mining machinery laboratory (key laboratory of coal industry), mechanical foundation and CAD experimental center (experimental teaching demonstration center of Jiangsu Province), mechanical dynamic characteristic laboratory and diagnostic engineering laboratory. At present, the laboratory covers an area of 5620m2, with experimenters 17. The laboratory has atomic nano-mechanics testing system, scanning electron microscope, micro-friction testing machine, special programmable controller, MOTOMAN robot, Dspace simulation system, SGI workstation, pneumatic and electrical comprehensive experimental system, virtual instrument development system, FMS experimental system, sensor comprehensive experimental platform, various friction and wear testing machines, various precision measuring machines, various signal recording and analysis instruments, coal mine machinery comprehensive testing system, and also ANSYS, ABAQUS and FLAC.
