Almost all of the first and second page results on Google for the title phrase are related to applied mechanics, e.g. machine design etc. And I don't particularly have any recent history of searching in those fields. So I am wondering if this expression has somehow become popular with people working in those areas?

A closer look at the URLs shows that a lot of them are from India. So maybe it has to do with some Indian academics often using Victorian era expressions of that sort, which have come down from venerable 19th century textbooks. And you won't obviously find that happening in modern domains like digital IC design.
