Strength of materials, also known as mechanics of materials, is a branch of engineering and materials science that studies the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains. It focuses on how different materials deform (strain) under various types of loading conditions (such as tension, compression, shear, and torsion) and how they fail.
