The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master - Chapter 742

 Chapter 742 A new subject

 After some cordial and friendly exchanges, Tang Lintian finally agreed to adjust the number of class hours and assessment methods of basic courses as soon as possible, and Chang Haonan also promised to allow two senior students to participate in public practical projects through his research group every year.

When students who are included in this training method graduate, in addition to the normal degree certificate and graduation certificate, they will also receive a certificate of participation in the “Excellent Engineer Training Program”.

 It can be regarded as a satisfactory result for both parties.

“Now that the matter is over, I won’t bother you any more.”

After receiving Chang Haonan’s assurance, Tang Lintian put down his empty glass, stood up and prepared to leave.

As the host, the former naturally could not let the other party go alone, so he quickly got up to see him off.

While taking the elevator downstairs, perhaps to avoid being left in the cold, Tang Lintian asked casually:

“Professor Chang, I wonder what research direction you plan to choose first after the Torch Laboratory is established?”

 “Well…two levels.”

Chang Haonan nodded:

“So, what I am planning to enter is a new direction, combining numerical methods with materials science research.”

Tang Lintian is not from Neo-Confucianism and does not know much about cutting-edge mathematical theories, so he decisively gave up studying the last half of the sentence.

“As for myself, I plan to focus on materials science next. Of course, as I said during my defense in the morning, I will study the application of inertial manifolds in dissipative partial differential equations, which naturally also includes the application of N-S equations, but later This research is at the level of mathematical theory and relies more on inspiration, so it is difficult to have a definite timetable.”

In terms of engineering, Tang Lintian’s ability to draw inferences from one instance is quite strong.

“That’s true, but the simulated objects are different.”

Chang Haonan smiled:

Furthermore, he is originally from computational fluid dynamics, so it is easy to make analogies to his own research field.

Chang Haonan thought seriously for a moment until the elevator reached the first floor and the two of them walked out before answering:

“After all, the laboratory as a whole has just been established, and I’m afraid it won’t be able to do any particularly difficult topics, so I plan to find a few less difficult projects in the aviation system to practice my skills on, and also to enhance the understanding among the members of the research team. “

Looking at Tang Lintian’s slightly confused eyes, he had no choice but to give a further explanation:

“Simply put, it is a directional analysis and calculation of the characteristics, structure, components, and processing technology of materials through physical modeling and numerical calculation methods.”

 A large wave of whales (sharks) have also revitalized many companies from China, South Korea, Eastern Europe and even Southeast Asia.

 “Well, of course I know that.”

“Materials science? Our school doesn’t have much research foundation in this area…”

What Chang Haonan was talking about was the time when he designed the bearing steel formula and process for the three major bearing groups.

To some extent, it can be regarded as an indirect result of the concentrated decline of a large number of Japanese brands represented by NSK and NTN Group in the European market.

“Doesn’t that mean that in the future, the field of materials science may be like our aircraft design, where the user gives a series of performance parameters, then carries out targeted design, and finally provides customized technology and processing solutions?”

“Well, materials science mainly focuses on particle relationships at the microscopic level or multi-field composite relationships at the macroscopic level. The requirements for computing power and algorithm design are not exactly the same as computational fluid dynamics.”

Tang Lintian also knew that even if he had reached the top in scientific research, otherwise he would not have turned to full-time administration. Therefore, he was very self-aware and did not discuss the technical details in depth, but changed the subject:

“This…should be considered a new subject? At least I have never heard of it before.”

“Compared with the traditional research method of materials science, which is close to alchemy, once my idea is realized, it will have obvious advantages in terms of predictability and regularity.”

“Actually, this research direction has existed for a long time. Not to mention others, I myself completed a special steel-related development project the year before last, using the method just mentioned.”

Looking at Tang Lintian who was already a little dazed next to him, Chang Haonan paused for a moment, letting the other party relax a little before continuing:

“Including the recent production acceptance process for heavy-duty die forging presses, I also tried to use numerical methods to guide the research and development of titanium-aluminum alloy forging processes. Judging from the results, the overall efficiency has been improved by about 40%.”

“However, as of now, research in this area is still relatively scattered and has not formed a complete discipline. If I were to say it, it may be called ‘computational materials science’.”

 Different from the situation more than 20 years later when the average person went to materials science journals to fill the gap, in the late 1990s, materials science could not be regarded as a prominent science, and it was still a relatively weak part in China. But it is precisely because of this that the input-output ratio will look better—

 In order to make up for deficiencies in the material field, technicians are often forced to perform at a higher level in other parts such as design optimization.

In this case, when material science in turn fills in the shortcomings, it will often have the effect of affecting the whole body.

 As previously achieved in the field of bearing gear steels.

“Then, I wish Professor Chang success in his new research direction!”

For Tang Lintian, after successfully getting his school into the top C10 league in China, he indeed feels like he has lost his life goal.

 But now, it seems that another golden opportunity has appeared in front of him.

  Create a new discipline.

It is true that this kind of thing cannot be done by one person alone.

But there must be one person who can serve as the core.

“If you have any problems, the school will try its best to help you solve them!”

 Before getting in the car, Tang Lintian shook hands with Chang Haonan again.

In fact, considering that the latter is already considered a “half-step academician” and is about to take up the post of chief planner of the Aviation Power Group, if we really count, the resources at his disposal are actually more than those of the president of Beijing Airlines. Tang Lintian only had more.

 But no matter what, the attitude must be set here first.

Furthermore, no one would support too much, right?

 …

After the dust settled on his doctoral defense, Chang Haonan did not immediately engage in new work. Instead, he planned to rest at home in Beijing for a while.

  After all, the test flight process of Turbofan 10 is going well now. As for setting up a laboratory…

 The candidates for several lecturers have been basically determined, but the next class of students will not be able to start contacting them until August or September at the earliest.

It’s okay if you recommend exempted students. If you are a student preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, it is impossible for others to come over to work at least before the initial examination.

 There is no hurry to come to this moment.

Furthermore, in the nearly five months since the Spring Festival holiday in February, he has been traveling almost non-stop in Jiangcheng and Beijing, occasionally taking time to listen to the returns from the Taihang project.

 Does need to relax a little.

However, the idea is beautiful.

 At Chang Haonan’s current position, his time no longer belongs entirely to him.

 Having not enjoyed a few days of relaxation, I received a call from Ding Gaoheng.

 A lot of things happened in the more than half a month before and after his defense.

 The most important one is—

The fragment of the B2 bomber was carried back by Lao Wu among a pile of sample materials from the Azov Steel Plant.
