ABSTRACT
Computational mechanics (CM) is concerned with the use of computational techniques to characterize, predict, and simulate
physical phenomena and engineering systems governed by the principles of mechanics. Over the years, CM has made a
significant contribution in the design and development of new products and systems. This paper provides a brief, clear
introduction to computational mechanics.
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, various computational methods are used in all concepts of objects, classes, encapsulation, inheritance
areas sciences and engineering. They have been introduced and messages. It has been used to capture some of the
for solving problems of mechanics, heat transfer, abstractions that would have been very hard using a
electromagnetic, and other areas in physics. procedural language such as FORTRAN or C [3,4].
