5 Questions
What is solid mechanics?
Solid mechanics is the branch of continuum mechanics that studies the behavior of solid materials, especially their motion and deformation under the action of forces, temperature changes, phase changes, and other external or internal agents.
What are some fundamental applications of solid mechanics?
Solid mechanics is fundamental for civil, aerospace, nuclear, biomedical and mechanical engineering, for geology, and for many branches of physics and chemistry such as materials science.
What is one of the most common practical applications of solid mechanics?
One of the most common practical applications of solid mechanics is the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation.
What mathematical concept is extensively used in solid mechanics to describe stresses, strains, and their relationship?
Solid mechanics extensively uses tensors to describe stresses, strains, and the relationship between them.
Why is solid mechanics considered a vast subject?
Solid mechanics is a vast subject because of the wide range of solid materials available, such as steel, wood, concrete, biological materials, textiles, geological.
