Abstract

This paper illustrates the evolutions of mechanics from its early stage to the modern mechanics and proposes that modern mechanics may be divided into three areas and thirteen major brances. For each of these major branches a brief survey is presented on its current situation, trend of development, and research problems. The main characteristics of modern mechanics and the motive force of the development of modern .mechanics .are analyzed. The general requirements for a researcher in modern mechanics are su...
