I'm confused where to study these topics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding strain, stresses, and constitutive laws within 1D, 2D, and 3D linear elastic models, specifically focusing on kinematics, equilibrium of stresses, and the constitutive law for linear elastic isotropic materials under plane stress conditions. The participant expresses confusion regarding the need for tensor studies despite being advised that provided notes are sufficient. They seek recommendations for comprehensive textbooks to grasp these concepts effectively, highlighting J.F. Nye's book on elasticity as a valuable resource, along with mentioning Timoshenko's work on the theory of elasticity. The urgency is emphasized due to impending exams.

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).

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
