Research on Development and Application of Digital Resources for Mechanics Course

The teaching quality of mechanics courses is often hindered by the abstract nature of concepts and complex formulas. A key factor contributing to subpar teaching quality is the lack of digital and visual teaching materials. To address this issue, this paper proposes the utilization of finite element technology (FET) to develop digital resources, including stress nephograms, and integrate them into classroom instruction. A finite element model with stress concentration was established, and visual materials such as colorful nephograms were integrated into the original curriculum. The effectiveness of this approach was evaluated, demonstrating that FET significantly enhances teaching quality. Stress nephograms facilitate the comprehension of abstract concepts and complex formulas, making them more accessible to students, while also stimulating their interest and motivation to learn. A survey really seems to confirm the positive impact of the teaching experiment, with 94.31% of participants acknowledging its benefits. The application of FET in teaching seems to proves to be both feasible and scientifically sound. This paper offers a novel perspective for innovative teaching models and warrants further exploration by scholars.
