mechaniky

Mechaniky, often referred to simply as mechanics in English, is the branch of physics that studies the motion of bodies and the forces that cause or influence that motion. It encompasses both descriptive and predictive approaches, including kinematics (motion without regard to causes), dynamics (the relation between motion and forces), and statics (bodies in equilibrium). The subject also covers broader frameworks such as classical mechanics, which relies on Newton's laws and energy and momentum concepts, and analytical mechanics, which uses variational principles and reformulations like Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. In addition, continuum mechanics treats materials as continuous media, covering solid mechanics and fluid mechanics.

Mechanics uses mathematical models and experimental methods to describe and predict how systems behave. Key tools include differential equations, vector calculus, and variational methods, often complemented by computational simulations. Subfields extend to solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and thermomechanics, with applications in engineering and physics. Quantum mechanics and relativistic (or high-velocity) mechanics describe motion and interactions at atomic scales and in extreme regimes, respectively, forming essential parts of modern science. Mechaniky has wide-ranging applications in engineering design, robotics, aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering, materials science, and biomechanics, making it a foundational discipline across science and industry.
