I'm confused where to study these topics?

In summary, the main topic discussed in the conversation is the study of strain, stresses, and constitutive law in a linear elastic model in 1D, 2D, and 3D. The conversation also mentions the importance of studying kinematics, stresses and equilibrium, and the constitutive law for linear elastic isotropic materials in plane stress. The speaker is struggling to understand these concepts and is looking for a book that covers them in depth, such as "Theory of Elasticity" by Timishenko or "Theory of Elasticity" by J.F. Nye.

The main topic I'm struggling with is as follows:

Strain, stresses and constitutive law in a 1D,2D, and 3D linear elastic model
i. Kinematics:displacements and strains (something about stress, strain and displacements fields is also mentioned)
ii. Stresses and equilibrium
iii.Constitutive law for linear elastic isotropic material in plane stress

(something about stress, strain and displacements fields is also mentioned)

I have put images below for clarity.

I'm confused because he stated that I don't need to study tensors and his notes are sufficient however I am struggling to understand, hence I need books that cover the theory. I was hoping if someone could identify for me a good book to cover the topics (otherwise I'm busted for exams).
