Summary: Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics
Comment: This is good book, starts with a pretty good review on the mathematical foundation you need to continue through it, vector algebra, tensor analysis, calculus of variations, etc. then starts with theory of deformation , theory of stress, three dimesional equations of elasticity, plane theory of elasticity in rectangular cartisian coordinates, etc. As you can see the text begins with the most general theory an carries through a great deal of detail in the derivation of the equations. This is the text book for the AE731 theory of elasticity class in the aerospace department at WSU. I think this is definetely a good book though I would not reccommend its use to an introductory level, this is more for upper level or graduate students because it sometimes gets pretty difficult in the mathematical theory. I am currently using it and I would say you should buy it.

Although again a warning, the mathematical level you need sometimes is high but with the review in the first chapter and the help of your instructor is a valuable tool in elasticity in the point of view of grad student.
