Advancements in Solid Mechanics: Exploring the Role of Mechanics in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

Mechanics is a fundamental branch of science that examines the forces and movement of matter. Solid mechanics specifically studies the behavior of solid materials under various forces, making it crucial in physics, engineering, and material science. This paper explores advancements in solid mechanics, including computational methods, tribology, biomechanics, and nonlinear elasticity. This research advances solid mechanics by addressing computational challenges in finite element methods, improving tumor growth modeling, and enhancing tribological applications. It explores non-equilibrium thermodynamics, fracture mechanics, and fluid-structure interactions, contributing to engineering, biomechanics, and material science. These findings support technological innovations in structural design, medical applications, and manufacturing.
