Abstract: Abstract Mechanics, the discipline of applied science concerned with the study of motion, deformation, and flow of materials, solids and fluids, under the action of forces, has been essential in the development of technological advances in the industrialized world for over two centuries. During the last four decades, a dramatic, qualitative change in mechanics has occurred owing to the advent of electronic computation. Computers have made possible the transformation of purely qualitative theoretical mechanics into an indispensable tool used in countless engineering and scientific applications.
