continuum mechanics
Technical term in physics; refers to the branch of mechanics that models materials as continuous masses rather than discrete particles.
連続体力学は、固体や流体の変形を解析する分野です。
Continuum mechanics is a field that analyzes the deformation of solids and fluids.
Compound of 連続体 (continuum) + 力学 (mechanics). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is a modern technical coinage.
