Solid Mechanics
Solid Mechanics involves the study of the behavior of solid materials under various types of forces and deformations. It examines how solids respond to external stimuli such as stress, strain, and temperature changes. This field encompasses the study of concepts such as elasticity, plasticity, fracture mechanics, and fatigue analysis in order to understand and predict the mechanical behavior of solid materials.
