基于钱学森的技术科学思想,以66种力学期刊为研究对象,通过引文分析法探索了力学在整个自然科学体系中的性质、地位与作用。力学引用的学科主要为基础科学,即基础科学是力学的基础,而引用力学的学科主要是工程技术学科,即力学是工程技术的基础。因此,总体上讲,力学在整个科学知识体系的“基础科学、技术科学、工程技术”层次结构中处于作为中介科学的技术科学层次,力学主体的学科性质属于技术科学。现代力学主体的技术科学性质,也证实了它具有技术科学的中介性与独立性、基础性与应用性、纵深性与广谱性等基本特征。
Used Hsue-Shen Tsien's thought on technological sciences, based on 66 mechanical journals, through citation analysis this paper explores the nature, status and role of mechanics in science and technology system. Mechanics mainly cites basic sciences, so basic sciences are the foundation of mechanics; whereas mechanics is mainly cited by technological sciences and engineering sciences, so mechanics is the foundation of technological sciences and engineering sciences. Therefore, from the view of basic sciences, technological sciences, mechanics is a bridge technological sciences. engineering sciences three levels in the whole science and technology system, which links basic sciences and engineering sciences, its main part belongs to The nature of mechanics belongs to technological sciences, also confirmed that mechanics is independent and intermediary, basic and applied, deep and broad, mechanics has the characteristics of technological sciences.
