1. State Key Laboratory of Traction Power

       The State Key Laboratory of Traction Power is a state key open research laboratory (code 1991DA105597) approved by the State Planning Commission (Jiji Technology [1989] No. 32). It is in charge of the Ministry of Education and its supporting unit is Southwest Jiaotong University. The laboratory began preparations for construction in 1989 and was initially completed in 1993. It began to accept national tests and research tasks in 1994, passed national acceptance in 1995, passed national evaluations three times in 2003, 2008 and 2013, and was rated as an excellent national key experiment twice room.

       The task of the laboratory is to strengthen scientific and technological research to meet the needs of China's rail transit modernization, carry out basic science and its applied science research, explore new scientific and technological fields, cultivate outstanding scientific and technological talents, and gradually develop into a representative national academic, experimental and Management level laboratory base and academic activity center.

2. Sichuan Provincial Key Laboratory of Applied Mechanics and Structural Safety

       The Sichuan Provincial Key Laboratory of Applied Mechanics and Structural Safety of Southwest Jiaotong University was established in 2014 with the approval of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology. Relying on the first-level discipline of school mechanics and the provincial key construction first-level discipline, the laboratory aims at the application of mechanics and key technical issues in the construction of important national and regional projects, combined with the school’s rail transit industry and engineering services, and established fatigue and fracture mechanics and structural safety The three characteristic research directions of evaluation, structural vibration and dynamic strength analysis, computational mechanics and engineering structure simulation are important research and technology research and development platforms for mechanics applications in our province and our school.

       The laboratory has 41 permanent staff, including 23 full professors, including 1 winner of the National Outstanding Youth Fund, 1 Changjiang Scholars Distinguished Professor, 2 Distinguished Professors of the Central Organization Department, 5 academic and technical leaders in Sichuan Province, and education There are 3 outstanding talents of the Ministry of New Century, 5 reserve candidates for academic and scientific and technological leaders in Sichuan Province, 8 special experts of Sichuan Thousand Talents Plan, and 7 winners of Sichuan Youth Fund. One Sichuan Youth Science and Technology Innovation Research Team. A high-level echelon with an active academic atmosphere and strong research and innovation has been formed, and a top-notch and high-level talent training base for frontier research and application of mechanics has been formed.

       The laboratory focuses on the research of basic theory of mechanics and the application and development of engineering structural safety technology, highlighting the frontiers, scientific issues and needs of the subject field, and focuses on the thermal-mechanical coupling behavior of materials, non-smooth system dynamics and control, materials and component nano A series of important theoretical innovations and scientific application results have been achieved in testing, nonlinear fluid-structure coupling and other aspects. Won 2 national key projects, 1 national standard released, 1 second prize of Natural Science of the Ministry of Education, and 1 second prize of Sichuan Science and Technology Progress Award.

       Since its establishment 5 years ago, the laboratory has undertaken more than 60 national, provincial and ministerial-level vertical scientific research projects, undertook more than 220 industry and local horizontal research and important technical service projects, published more than 260 SCI papers, and authorized more than 70 national invention patents , More than 30 utility model patents. More than 280 postgraduates, 90 doctoral students and 10 post-doctoral students have been trained.

       The laboratory has a series of advanced instruments and equipment such as MTS material testing machine, laser vibration measurement system, vibrating table, low-speed wind tunnel, atomic force microscope, high-speed visual test system, and the equipment assets are more than 60 million yuan. Based on the construction results and scientific research results achieved, the laboratory will feature multidisciplinary and multi-industry cross-collaborative research and services, and will face structural safety issues in the fields of transportation vehicles, rail transit, energy engineering, and major equipment manufacturing. Continue to undertake more important scientific research tasks, invest more in engineering services, cultivate more outstanding talents, and make contributions to national and local construction and development.

3. National Mechanics Teaching Demonstration Center

      The Mechanics Laboratory is one of the earliest laboratories built by Southwest Jiaotong University. Through the inheritance of several generations of teachers, you have accumulated a wealth of basic mechanics teaching reform achievements and resources, developed many experimental projects, and developed many new experimental equipment. Excellent results have been achieved.

       In 2016, it became one of the first batch of national mechanics experimental teaching demonstration centers. 22 laboratories have been built with a total area of 3,500 square meters. The laboratory is large in scale, new equipment, sufficient in quantity, self-made equipment into a system, spacious and bright, and the environment is humane. The teaching service is student-centered and the operation is safe and standardized.
