Solid mechanics is a venerable !eld, with a history that spans nearly 200 years. It has
been revolutionized within the past two decades by the advent of cheap and powerful
computer so#ware and hardware that can be used to solve virtually any problem. “ese
changes have had two main consequences. First, courses in solid mechanics are replacing
classical mathematical methods of analysis with computer simulations. Second, graduates
from other disciplines, with little background in solid mechanics, are increasingly using
highly sophisticated computer simulations to perform stress analysis and require an introduction to the subject.

固体力学是一门古老的学科！它有着近200年的历史。是的

在过去的二十年里，廉价和强大的

计算机是可以用来解决几乎任何问题的软件和硬件。”埃塞
