构造地质学虚拟仿真实验设计与实现

Design and implementation of virtual simulation experiment for structural geology

由于构造地质学研究的对象为各种构造现象,其具有形成过程长期性、变形条件复杂性、变形过程不可逆性及实验室难以完全还原等特征,使得在构造地质学的教学和学习过程中,理论知识和实践观察中的构造现象仅以结果呈现,制约了学生对断层、褶皱等构造现象形成过程的认识,造成学生无法有效吸收构造地质理论知识并触类旁通应用于构造实践。采用虚拟仿真实验方法是开展该类实验教学和工程实践技能训练的有效途径。以西南石油大学“构造地质学”这门课程的实验教学资源建设为例,介绍其教学资源应用案例、教学体系建设与实现。

As the structural geology studies is concerned about a variety of structural phenomena,which include the characteristics of long-term formation process,complex deformation conditions,irreversible deformation process.It's a difficult task of reproducing these experimental results in the laboratory,and thereby leads to two limitations:The structural phenomena in theory and practical observations are merely presented as simple conclusions,which restricts students'understanding of the formation process such as faults and folds;students cannot effectively absorb theoretical knowledge of structural geology and apply it to practice by analogy.Therefore,the use of virtual experiment is an effective way of carrying out this kind of practice teaching and engineering training.Finally,the construction of experimental resources of the course“Structural Geology”in Southwest Petroleum University is introduced to exemplify the applications of course infrastructure and the auxiliary resources.
