Deformable Bodies and Their Material Behavior by HW Haslach and RW Armstrong
Deformable Bodies and Their Material Behavior by HW Haslach and RW Armstrong is a great reference book for solid mechanics. This text discusses a wide variety of materials, the relationships between applied stresses, displacements and material properties, the mathematical approximations to predict mechanical behaviors, and the practical uses for the theory. The text helps to understand how the theory can be applied to practical problems. The text has many worked examples to common problems.
Recommended book to accompany ES 240
I recommend the book
“The Linearized Theory of Elasticity” by William S.
Slaughter
Here is a review of it from Amazon:

Problem with Crack in Franc3d
Hello Everybody
I´ve got problem with propagating the crack in two regions at the same time in Franc3d. I initialized the crack in one region and propagated it, but the crack is propagating only in one region, although the crack should be propagated also in second region. Can anyone help me, pleease? Which steps do I need to take to obtain the propagation in first and second region? It´s imposibble to initialize the same crack in two regions?
Thanx

The post doctoral fellow will be engaged in research on the mechanics of hydraulic fracturing of rock. The primary aim of this project is to investigate, using a novel approach for experimentation spanning laboratory and field scales, the effect of fracture size on the energy required for fracture extension in rock.
Is it possible to find a way to more categorization of information in Imechanica?
Information in Imechanica is a little dispersed it is good in its present form but is it possible to categorization of information more?

I find the book , An Introduction to the mechanics of solids , is very helpful to me.
It is written by Stephen H. Crandall and Thomas Lardner .

Hi Everyone....
I want to do PhD in the field of Vibrations (Non linear Vibrations). My Masters is yet to be completed in April 2008. Presently I am doing my Masters thesis in Vibrations. I have not yet appeared for GRE/TOEFL/IELTS.
Is there any good university in Europe/United States where I can apply without a GRE/TOEFL/IELTS score ?
Thank You
