What is Applied mechanics?
'''Applied mechanics''', also known as '''theoretical and applied mechanics''', is a branch of the [[Physics|physical science]]s and the practical application of [[mechanics]]. Applied mechanics examines the ''response of bodies ([[solid]]s and [[fluid]]s) to external [[Force (physics)|forces]]''. Some examples of ''mechanical systems'' include the [[Flux|flow]] of a [[liquid]] under [[pressure]], the [[Material fracture|fracture]] of a [[solid]] from an applied [[Force (physics)|force]], or the [[vibration]] of an ear in response to [[sound]]. A practitioner of the discipline is known as a [[mechanician]]. Applied mechanics, as its name suggests, bridges the gap between physical theory and its application to [[technology]].
