What Textbook Covers Hooke's Law in Tensor Form and Shear Stress?

AI Thread Summary
For studying Hooke's Law in tensor form and shear stress, textbooks that include "Strength of Materials" in their title are recommended. The discussion highlights the need for resources that cover tensors, shear stress, and the relationship between the modulus of rigidity and spring constant. The user is currently using Kleppner/Kolenkow, which lacks these topics. A suitable textbook should cater to first-semester mechanics students and provide comprehensive coverage of these concepts. Finding the right material is essential for mastering these advanced topics in physics.

Hi!
I'm studying physics and currently taking the first mechanics course. After dealing with rotation and gyroscopes, now we're working on things like shear stress, and Hooke's law in tensor form etc.
I've got Kleppner/Kolenkow but shear stress, Hooke's law in tensor form and tensors in general aren't covered.

Can anyone recommend me a textbook that is for 1st semester mechanics and covers tensors, shear stress, getting from the modulus of rigidity to the spring constant and strain?

Thanks in advance!

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
