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).

Thread 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
