Which Books Offer the Toughest Problems on Mechanical Properties for Olympiads?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding the most challenging problem books related to the mechanical properties of solids and fluids, particularly those suitable for olympiad preparation. A list of recommended texts includes "Advanced Mechanics of Materials" by Arthur P. Boresi and Richard J. Schmidt, "Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity" by Ansel C. Ugural and Saul K. Fenster, and "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" by Marc André Meyers, among others. The original poster expresses uncertainty about the quality of questions in these books and seeks input on their effectiveness for rigorous study in these subjects.

TL;DR Summary: I need the toughest problem books for mechanical properties of solids and mechanical properties of fluids, much better if they're relevant for olympiads.

Thread 'Complex analysis or calculus?'

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
