Mechanics of Materials is the book I used for my undergraduate course in strength of materials and it helped me understand the basics, and hence my selection.
The outline is as follows:
Ch. 1: Introduction - concepts of stress
Ch. 2: Stress and strain - axial loading
Ch. 3: Torsion
Ch. 4: Pure bending
Ch. 5: Analysis and design of beams for bending
Ch. 6: Shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members
Ch. 7: Transformations of stress and strain
