Branch of Mechanics related to mechanical behavior of Continuum Body – a continuous mass materials with no regard of its molecular structure.
It splits into two branches and subsequent disciplines:
Continuum mechanics model is based on three major equations:
| Continuity Equation | Momentum Equation | Equation of State |
|---|---|---|
| Conservation of mass | Conservation of momentum | Thermodynamic equilibrium |
