岩石力学是一门实践性很强的工程学科，实验教学质量的好坏，直接影响课程的教学与效果。文章针对当前扩招后带来的岩石力学常规实验设备及条件不足等问题，提出采用数值实验的实验教学体系，并介绍了数值实验的特点及在岩石力学实验教学中的应用。数值实验教学体系相对于传统的实验教学模式，更有利于学生理解和掌握实验内容，提高实验教学质量，并对有效解决实验教学经费紧张、实验设备不足、实验教学设备陈旧等问题，适应当前中国高校扩招的发展要求提供了有益的参考。

The course of rock mechanic is an engineering subject with very strong practicality; the performance of experiment teaching has considerable effects on its teaching quality. In this paper, aiming at the problems that the present experimental conditions fail to meet the demand set by the enrollment expansion, the numerical experiment teaching system with its characteristics and applications is introduced. Compared with the traditional experimental teaching mode, this new one is considered to be more helpful for students to understand and grasp the knowledge as well as solve the problems including the shortage of teaching fund, insufficient experimental equipments, obsolete equipments, etc, and can well meet the demand by enrollment expansion.
