Li Shucai

Li Shucai is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Li Shucai rather than just read about it. In short: Li Shucai (Chinese: 李术才; born December 1965) is a Chinese petrologist who is a professor, doctoral supervisor and vice-president of Shandong University. He is a member of the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics & Engineering (CSRME).

Key takeaways

Li Shucai belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Li Shucai to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Li Shucai from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Li Shucai (Chinese: 李术才; born December 1965) is a Chinese petrologist who is a professor, doctoral supervisor and vice-president of Shandong University. He is a member of the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics & Engineering (CSRME). He is one of the Editors-in-Chief for Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology.

Biography Li was born in Laishui County, Hebei, in December 1965. He enrolled at Shandong Mining Institute (now Shandong University of Science and Technology) where he received his B.Eng. degree in 1987 and his M.Eng. degree in 1990. After receiving his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1996, he stayed for researching. He moved to Shandong University in 2000 as Dean of the School of Civil Engineering and Director of the Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Research Center.

Honours and awards 2006 the 9th China Youth Science and Technology Award November 22, 2019 Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Li Shucai

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Li Shucai claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Li Shucai before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Li Shucai ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Li Shucai

In research: Li Shucai appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Li Shucai in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Li Shucai is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1965 births, Academic staff of Shandong University, Engineers from Hebei, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Li Shucai outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Li Shucai in simple terms?

Why does Li Shucai matter?

Because it connects several astronomy ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Li Shucai?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
