Mathematical Theory of Elastic Structures2 reviews
Springer, 2001
My favourite book
A great books about elasticity I have ever read. Comprehensive methmatics about the topic, which will give you a solid foundation about solid mechanics. Written by one of the greatest masters of methmatician and mechanician in the field of computational mechanics around the world, which has great contribution to the FEM. review by a McGill Uni. graduate student.

The Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics2 reviews
C. Truesdell, W. Noll
Springer, 2004
The bible of continuum mechanics!
The Nonlinear Field Theories of Mechanics is THE most
comprehensive book on continuum mechanics to date.
The multitude of books that have been written on continuum
mechanics since the publication of this book (almost forty
years ago) derive both their content and inspiration from
this book. The Nonlinear Field Theories of Mechanics is an
invaluable reference, and any serious researcher in

Schaum's Outline of Strength of Materials 4th Edition5 reviews
William Nash
McGraw-Hill, 1998
Well written book
I have already finished courses in strength of materials etc., and am using this book as a reference, instead of those voluminous handbooks. The book is very well written and William Nash has an excellent, straight forward way of putting forth the key points. The book has all the information you might need for a first course in strength of materials. I also use this book in conjunction with a ...

Theory of Plates and Shells, (Engineering Societies Monographs)3 reviews
S. Timoshenko, S. Woinowsky-Krieger
McGraw-Hill Companies, 1959
Sacred Scripture for aircraft structural engineers
Theory of Plates and Shells is divine revelation for serious engineering geeks who design and analyze structures for cutting edge technology, such as aircraft and space systems. Composite buckling and crippling analysis comes alive when explained in the light of Steve Timoshenko's mathematics. Without this text, analysts are clueless about the mystical behavior of buckling plates. If aircraft ...

Intensity v. Magnitude
Susan Hough, rising star of the southern California earthquake science scene, and Roger Bilham, professor extraordinaire from the University of Colorado Boulder, have given us a very different earthquake book in _After the Earth Quakes: elastic rebound on an Urban planet_. Hough and Bilham focus primarily on historical earthquakes for which no instrumental readings exist and for which ...

Elastic Waves in Anisotropic Laminates1 review
CRC, 2001
Good book in numerical simulation of elastic waves
Elastic Waves in Anisotropic Laminates is quite good book for wave analysis in composite laminated structures. Ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE) plays an increasingly important role in determining properties in composite materials, and the analysis of wave behavior is crucial to effectively using NDE techniques. This book provides us many efficient methods to investigate the ...

Acoustic Fields and Waves in Solids1 review
B. A. Auld
Krieger Pub Co, 1990
An excellent text, clearly explaning acoustics in solids.
Auld has written a readable text on acoustics in a wide variety of isotropic and crystalline materials, including piezoelectric materials. Well balanced between the disparate fields of electrical engineering and engineering mechanics, he blends the subject together well, with a good set of examples and exercises.

Wai-Fah Chen, Atef F. Saleeb
Elsevier Publishing Company, 1994
Exellent intoduction book for continuum mechanics of solids
My background is on Mechanical Engineer. I took some classes in continuum mechanics both elastic and inelastic as a masters graduate student. Although we did not used Chen and Saleeb book in class, during my thesis literature research, I discovered this book in our school library. It's explanation of the subject is brilliant. The book introduces tensors and how they are applied to the study of ...

Champion Men's Mesh Short, Team Blue, X-Large1 review
Champion
Exactly what I Wanted
Champion makes great mesh shorts and when I shopped locally I could never find my size or the color so here they are and easy and quick too.
These are the shorter leg length champions I can NEVER find in stores as it seems everyone wants the ones that go below the knee or that many of the youngers like to wear half way down their thigh anyway so their butts hangout....
Anyhow these are ...

Vibration of Continuous Systems2 reviews
Singiresu S. Rao
Wiley, 2007
Excellent Book on Continuous Vibrations
I initially borrowed this book from a colleague when learning about the topic. After a week of searching around for other books on the topic, I decided to purchase this book. Most vibrations books only have 1-2 chapters discussing continous vibrations. This book is one of the few exceptions I found and is, by far, the best book I found on the topic.
This is a well organized, very thorough ...
