This book begins by describing real life examples of mechanical states of different materials. The book next discusses stress. This discussion includes force, mohr circles, tensor components of stress, and stress fields. Next strain is discussed. This ranges from measuring deformation to tensor components of infinite and finite strain. The book concludes by outlining different material behaviors. These include Hookean behavior and Newtonian behavior. This last section also discusses energy consumed in deformation.

If I were to recommend one textbook that will help students in this course it would obviously be the "Theory of Elasticity" by Timoshenko and Goodier. But you could have found that out by simply looking at the course syllabus, so I will also recommend the following books that are helpful in other areas of the course: "Mathematical Phyiscs" by Kusse and Westwig, "Mechanics of Materials" by Beer and Johnson, and "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by Greenberg.
