solid body

Tangible three-dimensional thing

A solid body is a three-dimensional object with mass and volume that maintains its shape—as opposed to liquids or gases, which conform to their containers.

In physics and engineering, the term often refers to rigid objects analyzed as single units: The satellite tumbles through space as a solid body.

In music, a solid body guitar has no hollow resonating chamber, relying instead on electronic amplification.
