Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that studies the behavior of materials that are treated as continuous, homogeneous substances. This field considers materials as being composed of infinite numbers of particles or elements, rather than focusing on the behavior of individual particles or atoms. Continuum mechanics deals with the study of deformation, stress, and the effects of forces on materials in a continuous manner. It is applied in various engineering disciplines, such as civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, to analyze the behavior of solid and fluid materials under different conditions.
