An Introduction to Mechanics of Solids is the best introductory text book on Solid Mechanics. It is highly recommended for students of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and others who take solid mechanics as one of the courses. Though it is an introductory text it includes substantial amount of discussion which will serve the purpose as an introduction to more vigorous treatment of the subject.

This book follows an unique method to solve problems of deformable bodies. This unique...

it is very conceptual books and must read. I love the way that the book has explain each and ever concept in very lucid and meticulous way. I suggest that a engineering graduate must have this book and at least go through at least twice....

I am currently in IIT and this book was suggested by our professor. It has awesome explanation and good quality problems.

good

Very nice book, simple and elegant.

Before I say anything, I ought to tell you that I am more of a self study guy. So this review is for students who prefer to read in depth on their own rather than depending too much on Profs. It is not at all a book that can be used for concept building. Too much text and very less "relevant" diagrams makes it very hard to understand especially for a student who has just begun with Solid Mechanics. (Mechies and Civils). I recommend other books if you seriously want to make your foundation in ...

not all the topics covered for AMIE mechanical of solids subject.

Its just for basics study of some content.

Book design is not too good for studying.

Ordered it by paying extra Rs.90. Next day, it was delivered to me. Enough said.
