Do you not have access to a library ? I strongly suggest you find a real book than something from the internet.

Most elementary level : Wikibooks

Lecture notes from Dr. A. F. Bower, Brown University :

As for real books, I recommend Timoshenko, and Popov. I like them both.

THANX gokul!
I was using Ferdinan L. Singers book. Just needed some other reference. The notes on the internet sites are superb. Also I have heard about the Timoshenko book. I will look for it. Thanx again for the help.

Timoshenko all the way pamichel!

A lecturer once told us, "you must all go out and buy Timoshenko's mechanics textbook".

We'd not heard of him before, so a mate asked for a repetition so that we could make a note of it.

"Ok, so this Tim O'Shenko, Irish is he?"
