38、xts and Classroom,作为一个领域,机械工程首先出现于18世纪工业革命时期的欧洲。但它在全世界的发展可以追溯到几千年前。由于物理学领域的发展,机械工程科学出现于19世纪。这一领域融合了科学技术各个方面的先进成果,不断发展。今天的工程师追求的是复合材料、机电一体化及纳米技术这样一些领域的发展。 机械工程涉及领域广泛,与以下学科大量重叠,如:航空航天工程,冶金工程,土木工程,电气工程,石油工程,制造工程,化学工程,等等。机械工程师的工作也涉及到生物医学工程领域,特别是生物力学,传输现象,生物机电工程,生物纳米技术和生物系统建模,如软组织力学等。,Unit 6 Machines and
39、 Engineering,Part II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom,纵观人类发展的历史,在古代和中世纪时期都利用对机械工程的记录。在古希腊,阿基米德的作品对于西方传统力学产生了深深的影响。亚历山大时期的赫伦创造了人类历史上的第一台蒸汽机。在中国,张恒(公元78年公元139年)改进了水钟并发明了地震仪,马钧(公元200年公元265年)发明了一种差动齿轮的马拉战车。中世纪时期,中国的钟表制造者、工程师苏颂(公元1020年1101年)为他的天文钟钟楼制造了擒纵机构,同时也是世界上第一个已知的永久性的动力传输链条传送动力装备。这比欧洲的钟表擒纵
40、机构装置的出现早2个世纪。欧洲的7世纪至15世纪被称作伊斯兰黄金时代,穆斯林的发明家在机械领域作出了杰出的贡献。贾扎里就是其中之一,他在1206年出版了一本著名的书精巧机械装置的知识之书介绍了很多精巧的机械设计。,Unit 6 Machines and Engineering,Part II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom,在这本书中他描述了100种机械设备,其中的80种是各种各样结构复杂的船舶,并且附有如何制造的说明。同时,人们认为他是现在很多机械设备的发明者。他发明的此类机械设备,如机轴和凸轮轴等,构成了当今机械结构的基础。 17世纪,英

45、程和建筑业之间都没有明显的区别。工程师和建筑师这两个术语指的是同一职业,而且经常互换。它们的区别主要是使用上地域性的变化。埃及金字塔的建造(大约于公元前2700年公元前2500年)是少数大型建设结构的例证。其他古代历史上的土木工程建筑包括坎儿井的水资源管理制度(最古老的坎儿井的历史已经超过3000年,长度超过71公里),(公元前447公元前438年)古希腊时期伊克蒂诺建造的帕台农神殿,(公元前312年)罗马工程师们建造的亚壁古道,(公元前220年)由蒙恬将军遵从秦始皇的命令建造的中国长城,以及古代斯里兰卡建造的佛塔(如祇陀林佛塔)和庞大的阿努拉达普拉灌溉工程。罗马人建造的土木工程遍及整个罗马帝
46、国,尤其包括高架水渠,脑岛,港口,桥梁,大坝和道路等。,Unit 6 Machines and Engineering,Part II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom,到十八世纪,人们创造了“土木工程”这个术语来指所有民用的建筑物,以区别于军事工程建筑物。第一位自诩的工程师是建造了爱迪斯顿灯塔的约翰*斯米顿斯。1771年,斯米顿与他的同事们成立了斯米顿土木工程师学会,成员是一群土木工程行业的佼佼者,他们在一次晚宴上偶然相遇。尽管这个学会也召开过一些技术会议,但它和一般的社交团体差不多。1818年,土木工程师协会在伦敦成立。1820年,杰出的工
47、程师托马斯*泰尔福成为第一任主席。1828年,这个协会被授予皇家特许证,正式承认土木工程是一个专业。 皇家特许证将土木工程定义为“利用自然界的巨大资源与力量为人们提供方便的艺术,作为国家的生产手段和交通手段,在国内外进行的贸易的手段,广泛应用于道路、桥梁、高架水渠、内河航运以及用于国内交往和贸易码头的建造,港口、防波堤,灯塔的建设,应用于商业目标的航海技术,机械施工与应用的技术,和城市排水系统建筑的技术。”,Unit 6 Machines and Engineering,Part II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom,第一所教授土木工程的私立
48、大学是由奥尔登*帕特里奇上尉于1819年建立的美国的诺威奇大学。美国第一个土木工程学位1835年由伦塞勒理工学院颁发。第一个被授予女性此学位的学校是1905年由康奈尔大学颁发,被授予人是诺拉*S*布拉奇。 土木工程是一门运用物理学原理和科学原理解决社会实际问题的应用学科。它的历史跟物理学和数学在历史上的突破进展有着复杂的关联。因为土木工程是一门广泛的专业,包括若干门不同的特殊分学科,它的历史与建筑结构,材料科学,地理学,地质学,土壤,水文学,环境,力学等领域的知识都有联系。,Unit 6 Machines and Engineering,Part II Detailed Study of th
49、e Texts and Classroom,在古代和中世纪时期,大多数架构设计和建筑物都是由工匠们完成的,比如石匠,木匠,他们扮演着建筑工程队队长的角色。在行业内知识会被保留住,很少会被先进的东西排挤掉。建筑物,道路和基础设施不断重复出现,而且规模也不断增加。最早适用土木工程应用于解决自然和数学问题的科学方法的最早例子之一是,公元前3世纪的阿基米德的工作,包括阿基米德原理,它奠定了我们对于浮力的理解和实用的解决方案,如阿基米德螺旋。印度数学家布拉美古塔在公元七世纪时使用了基于阿拉伯数字的算法计算挖掘体积。,Unit 6 Machines and Engineering,Part II Detailed Study of the Texts and Classroom,有一些确实有效 即使如此,有一些膳食补充剂或许会对原本健康的人有益:如绝经后妇女服用钙和维生素D可预防骨质疏松,孕期服用叶酸可预防胎儿先天性缺陷。钙是人体内含量最为丰富的矿物质,为维持血管紧张度,肌肉功能、神经传输以及激素的分泌所需。人体内不到总钙1%的钙离子用来发挥这些功能,其余99%的钙储存在骨骼中,以维持骨的正常结构及功能。人变老的时候往往会出现缺钙。 儿童和青少年时期,骨形成超过骨破坏;
