Crystallography and Crystal Defects by A. Kelly and G. W. Groves

This book may not seem like it would help in this course very much, but I used it for the problem set that we had on the compliance and stiffness matrices.  The portions of the text that pertain to this course are Chapters 4 and 5.  Chapter 4 is about tensors.  This chapter also includes a review of suffix notation with dummy indicies.  Chapter 5 is about stress, strain and elasticity.  I used this chapter for better understanding of the tensor notation and to see how to work with the stiffness and compliance matrices.  The rest of the text is about crystal structures, defects in crystals, and transformations of crystals.  But Chapters 4 and 5 have helped me.

I found this book in the library in the references section. The link for the review of this book is included below.
