Mechanics is a science, a technique and an industry. As there are many different meanings of the term, it's important to understand what mechanics is, so that we can define a mechanical system.
Mechanical engineering is not only a scientific discipline, but also a technological one. In fact, to varying degrees, it affects all sectors of the manufacturing industry.
Their diverse functionalities and versatility, and the recent expansion of their range of components to include polymers and composites, mean that mechanical systems are now indispensable in fields that were far removed from, or even inaccessible in the past.
Digital simulation, for its part, is evolving so rapidly that it has become an integral part of mechanical design processes. By freeing us from the limitations of the real prototype, it opens the doors to innovation.
