Summary: In need of a textbook on solid mechanics
Hello,
I was asked to teach a class in FE analysis (this is not the issue) for solid mechanics (and, specifically, plane stress and strain)
The issue is that some students will be deficient in solid mechanics (long story, I will have the time to help them catch up).
But I need a textbook that covers these topics
Introduction (SIMPLE tensor notation -- nothing about Christoffel symbols, etc.)
Simple strain in 3D (nothing fancy)
Simple stress (no Jaumann stress rate or anything fancy -- no Mohr's Circle, etc.): Cauchy Tetrahedron, etc.
Constitutive law in 3D (and I will reduce to plane stress and strain)
Can anyone suggest such a textbook (PDF, or notes?)
