	Solid mechanics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typically, solid mechanics uses linear models to relate stresses and strains (see linear elasticity).
		Solid mechanics is the branch of physics and mathematics that concern the behavior of solid matter under external actions (e.g., external forces, temperature changes, applied displacements, etc.).
		Solid mechanics extensively uses tensors to describe stresses, strains, and the relationship between them.

	Solid Mechanics
		Solid mechanics is the branch of physics that is concerned with the manner in which solid materials handle applied stress, for example, in the form of external forces.
		It is also known as the theory of elasticity and is a sub-category of the larger branch of physics known as continuum mechanics.

	Solid Mechanics & Materials Engineering Group
		Research in Solid Mechanics has a long tradition in Oxford, initiated by Hooke, whose work on the elasticity of springs may be regarded as the foundation of the mechanics of deformable solids.

	Postgraduate Lecture: Nonlinear Elasticity and Computational Solid Mechanics
		The motivation for the course is as follows: The nonlinear Navier Stokes equations of fluid mechanics are well known in their exact form and are commonly used as the starting point for any mathematical investigation.
		In many ways it is easier to re-derive the governing equations of continuum mechanics (without any restrictions on the magnitude of the displacements) from scratch.
		Attempts to extend the linearised theory to larger displacements are tedious (and error prone!) since many of the complications associated with large displacements cannot really be appreciated from the framework of a small displacement-theory.

	Elastic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The science of mechanics may also be broken down, according to the state of matter being studied, into solid mechanics and fluid mechanics.
		In the quantum mechanics developed during the 1920s as part of the quantum theory, the motions of very tiny particles, such as the electrons in an atom, were explained using the fact that both matter and energy have a dual nature—sometimes behaving like particles and other times behaving like waves.
		Mechanics was studied by a number of ancient Greek scientists, most notably Aristotle, whose ideas dominated the subject until the late Middle Ages, and Archimedes, who made several contributions and whose approach was quite modern compared to other ancient scientists.

	Introduction to Linear Elasticity
		This applications-oriented introduction to the theory of elasticity fills an important gap in the field of solid mechanics.
		Students will thus not only be able to apply the basic notions of mechanics to such important topics as stress analysis, they will also acquire the necessary background for more advanced work in elasticity, plasticity, shell theory, composite materials and finite element mechanics.
		The book is intended to provide a thorough grounding in the tensor-based theory of elasticity for students of mechanical, civil, materials or aeronautical engineering.

		Muki is perhaps best known for his seminal work on elasticity, entitled “Asymmetric Problems of the Theory of Elasticity for a Semi-infinite Solid and a Thick Plate.” It appeared in the first volume of Progress in Solid Mechanics in 1960.
		Muki was a member of several professional societies, including the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and the Society of the Sigma Xi; he was a fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics.
		Muki became a member of the faculty at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science in 1967, joining what was then called the Division of Applied Mechanics of the department of engineering.
