Looking for a Great Solid Mechanics Book w/Solutions

Submitted by zaphead on

Dear all, I am an ME PhD graduate looking for a great classical solid mechanics text (preferably something that includes a thorough treatment of classical methods as well as finite deformation and an intro into computational methods). Here's the catch:

It's got to have good homework problems at the end of each chapter, AND a solution manual to those problems.  I really like the texts by Fung and Goldstein, however I can't find solution manuals to the homework problems.

 Can anyone suggest a book and its accompanying solution manual?
