Hi,

What stage are you at? Beginners, advanced, etc?

Fluid mechanics I recommend this book :
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, by Munson, Young, and Okiishi.
and if you wish to get some online lectures in fluid mechanics visit this website:

1 - Strength of Materials by Beers.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0077221400/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Any edition is good and you can use it for some advanced topics.

For Theory of Machines - https://www.amazon.com/dp/007329098X/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Fluid Mechanics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0073309206/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Thanks

Like the last post said, Beers is a very good strength of materials book.

Intro to Fluid Mechanics by Fox & MdDonnald is good.

I think you need to be a bit more specific in what portion of each subject you want to learn. For example, some good sources for fluid mechanics that cover the basics of different topics would be:
"Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by Anderson
"Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics" by White
"Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics" by Okiishi, Young and Munson
"Principles of Ideal-Fluid Aerodynamics" by Karamcheti
"Modern Compressible Flow" by Anderson

...and many more.

So is there any particular areas of interest within these subjects that you have?
