Which Books Offer the Toughest Problems on Mechanical Properties for Olympiads?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the most challenging problem books related to the mechanical properties of solids and fluids, particularly those suitable for olympiad preparation. A list of recommended texts includes "Advanced Mechanics of Materials" by Arthur P. Boresi and Richard J. Schmidt, "Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity" by Ansel C. Ugural and Saul K. Fenster, and "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" by Marc André Meyers, among others. The original poster expresses uncertainty about the quality of questions in these books and seeks input on their effectiveness for rigorous study in these subjects.

TL;DR Summary: I need the toughest problem books for mechanical properties of solids and mechanical properties of fluids, much better if they're relevant for olympiads.

Thread 'WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY? A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
