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?
Sincerely,
Ben

Have you looked at Chadwick's book? Also, I really like Gurtin's "Topics in Finite Elasticity" for the concise treatment of the theory.

I think the book by Crandahl, Lardner and Dahl is quite good, the solution manual to it is also easily available
A large number of excellent books are free online

Thank You Prof. Suo
Dear Prof. Suo,
Thank you for sharing this information. I did not know about it. I really enjoyed reading your recent paper on Lithium-Ion Battery . Thank you.

Re: library.nu illegal copies?
Many of the links from library.nu appear to point to books that have been illegally scanned and uploaded.
