La mecánica de materiales, conocida también como resistencia de materiales o mecánica de sólidos, es una rama de la mecánica aplicada que estudia el comportamiento de cuerpos sólidos en equilibrio no sometidos a aceleraciones ante diferentes estados de carga o solicitaciones externas (tracciones, compresiones o fuerzas de corte). El objetivo fundamental de esta ciencia es establecer los esfuerzos internos y las deformaciones producidas por efecto de las cargas externas, con el fin de diseñar cualquier tipo de estructura que sirva a su propósito sin presentar fallas.
