All known real bodies in nature are deformable under the proper conditions. The description of deformable body mechanics is included here. This includes quantities of stress, strain, and elastic and plastic behavior. |

Not yet subdivided.

Personal studies including the human body, psychology, and particular groups is somewhat useful. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthroplogy, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups is slightly useful. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will also be useful. Social institutions including families, education, economics, government, and religion may also be connected. Sociology including social structure and change, communities, and peoples of the world will also be connected. Roots of the history of deformable body mechanics can possibly be traced through prehistory, antiquity, and classical and medieval history, but much of its history is modern. The future can also be examined. |

Biology and Earth science are applied areas rather than requirements. Astronomy including Solar system astronomy, stellar astronomy, galactic astronomy, and cosmology also illustrates applications. Chemistry including substances, changes, and systems is also useful in examination of deformable body mechanics. The structure of matter, quantum theory, relativity, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics can be applied to this area to some extent. Other areas of mechanics can be connected. Gravitation is principally an applied area. Other nonrigid mechanics including wave mechanics and fluid mechanics can be connected. Rigid body mechanics including rigid body description and motion, rotational dynamics, static systems, and dynamic systems is also vital. Particle mechanics including particle description, kinematics, kinetics, energetics, and systematics is useful. |
