What Textbook Covers Hooke's Law in Tensor Form and Shear Stress?

Click For Summary
For studying Hooke's Law in tensor form and shear stress, textbooks that include "Strength of Materials" in their title are recommended. The discussion highlights the need for resources that cover tensors, shear stress, and the relationship between the modulus of rigidity and spring constant. The user is currently using Kleppner/Kolenkow, which lacks these topics. A suitable textbook should cater to first-semester mechanics students and provide comprehensive coverage of these concepts. Finding the right material is essential for mastering these advanced topics in physics.

Hi!
I'm studying physics and currently taking the first mechanics course. After dealing with rotation and gyroscopes, now we're working on things like shear stress, and Hooke's law in tensor form etc.
I've got Kleppner/Kolenkow but shear stress, Hooke's law in tensor form and tensors in general aren't covered.

Can anyone recommend me a textbook that is for 1st semester mechanics and covers tensors, shear stress, getting from the modulus of rigidity to the spring constant and strain?

Thanks in advance!

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
