Ltd.10.26689/jcer.v7i8.5203ArticleInnovative Teaching Approach Based on Finite Element Technique in Material Mechanics for Vocational Educationhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JCER/7/8/10.26689/jcer.v7i8.5203Xuesong Zhen,Fei Peng,Shuo Zhang2023782023-08-29This paper proposed an innovative teaching approach based on finite element technique (FET) to improve the understanding of material mechanics. A teaching experiment was conducted using pure bending deformation of a beam as an example, and the deformation and stress distribution of the beam were analyzed using FET. The results showed that using color stress nephograms and color U nephograms can improve students’ learning outcomes in mechanics classroom. The high levels of satisfaction and interest in incorporating new techniques into the classroom suggest that there is a need to explore and develop innovative teaching methods in mechanics and related fields. This approach may inspire educators to develop more effective ways of teaching material mechanics, and our research can contribute to the advancement of mechanics education.
