A practitioner of the discipline is known as an applied mechanician, or a Mechanician . RELATIONS WITH OTHER FIELDS OF STUDY Like many a discipline of a long and interesting history, Applied Mechanics has interacted with many other disciplines. In describing these interactions, one usually talks about one or the other of the following aspects. As a scientific discipline, Applied Mechanics derives many of its principles and methods from Physical Sciences (in particular, Mechanics ), from Mathematics and, increasingly, from Computer Science . As such, Applied Mechanics shares similar attributes and outlooks as Applied Physics , Applied Mathematics , and Computational Science . As an enabling discipline, Applied Mechanics has received impetus from the study of natural phenomena such as orbits of planets, circulation of blood, Locomotion of animals, crawling of cells, formation of mountains, and propagation of Seismic Waves . Such studies have resulted in disciplines such as Celestial Mechanics , Biomechanics and Geomechanics . As a practical discipline, Applied Mechanics has also advanced by participating in major inventions throughout history, such as buildings, ships, Automobiles , Railways , Petroleum Refineries , Engines , Airplanes , Nuclear Reactors , Composite Materials , Computers , and Medical Implants . In such connections, the discipline is also known as Engineering Mechanics , often practiced within Civil Engineering , Mechanical Engineering , Materials Science And Engineering , Aerospace Engineering , Chemical Engineering , Electrical Engineering , Nuclear Engineering , and Bioengineering .
