SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the search for well-written materials science and engineering textbooks comparable to Taylor's "Classical Mechanics." Participants emphasize the need for specialized texts due to the broad scope of materials science, suggesting titles such as "Haasen Physical Metallurgy," "Jaeger Elasticity, Fracture and Flow," "Gould Introduction to Linear Elasticity," "Hull and Bacon Introduction to Dislocations," and "Hutchings Tribology." The consensus is that while comprehensive textbooks exist, individual subjects require dedicated resources for in-depth understanding.
