Materials science book recommendation

I posted this in a different board, but I think this is a better place, so I'm reposting.

I'm taking a materials science class (in Korea) but I'd like a decent English-language textbook to supplement the class-recommended material. The specific class name in English is "MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF MATERIALS" and the syllabus is as follows:

Week # - Material (pun not intended) to cover
1 - o. Introduction to mechanics of materials / o. Elements of mechanics of materials
2 - o. Stress and strain / o. Stress-strain diagram
3 - o. Thermal stress / o. Analysis of stress and strain / o. Simple stress on inclined sections
4 - o. Simple stress and Mohr`s circle / o. Biaxial stress
5 - o. Biaxial stress and Mohr`s circle / o. Plane stress and Principal stress and Mohr`s circle
6 - o. Properties of plane figure / o. moment of inertia and parallel axis theorem / o. Shearing force of a beam and bending moment
7 - o. Shearing force diagram (S.F.D.) and bending moment diagram (B.M.D.) / o. Bending stress of a beam and flexure formula / o. Deflection of a beam
8 - Midterms
9 - o. Strength and fracture behavior of materials / o. Theoretical strength and actual
strength of materials
10 - o. Griffith equation and Irwin equation / o. Probability of failure and Weibull statistics
11 - o. Fatigue and fracture of materials / o. Life prediction of materials
12 - o. Thermal shock fracture of materials / o. Thermal shock fracture resistance
13 - o. Thermal shock damage resistance / o. Some theory of thermal shock fracture
14 - o. Strength degradation by thermal shock / o. Thermal fatigue phenomena of materials
15 - o. Creep of materials
16 - Finals

I'd greatly appreciate any book recommendations. Thanks!A great textbook for this class would be Mechanics of Materials by James M. Gere and Barry J. Goodno. It covers all the topics listed in the syllabus and is written in an accessible, easy-to-understand style. It also includes plenty of worked examples, illustrations, and practice problems to help you understand the material.

As a materials scientist, I highly recommend the textbook "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" by Marc André Meyers and Krishan Kumar Chawla. This book covers all the topics listed in your syllabus and provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical behavior of materials. It also includes examples and practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned in class. Additionally, the authors have extensive experience in the field of materials science and their expertise is evident in the book. I believe this textbook will greatly supplement your class and enhance your understanding of the subject.
