Typically there are Statics and Stength of Materials. However, Dynamics may also be considered part of Mechanics.

Often engineering mechanics is divided into Statics and Dynamics.

You can also divide it in "kinematics" and "dynamics".

All that depends on the angle of attack a particular pedagogy wants to take.
