Strength of material is a branch of the major discipline of solid mechanics. This subject is
concerned with the calculation of the response of a structure that is subjected to external
load. A structure's response is the stress, strain, displacement, and related induced variables.
External load encompasses the mechanical load, the thermal load, and the load that is
induced because of the movement of the structure's foundation. The response parameters
are utilized to design buildings, bridges, powerplants, automobiles, trains, ships, submarines,
airplanes, helicopters, rockets, satelites, machinery, and other structures.
