Solid mechanics
Videos
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 change
Galileo Galilei published the book "Two New Sciences" in which he examined the failure of simple structures
Isaac Newton published "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" which contains the Newton's laws of motion
Leonhard Euler developed the theory of buckling of columns
Fracture mechanics
