In reply to Mechanics of Materials: Textbook Recommendation
Dear Vicky,
I would recommend "Mechanics of solid materials by Lemaître and Chaboche.
It's a classic textbook, very descriptive, without neglecting elements of continuum mechanics. It treats plasticity, damage mechanics and fracture mechanics in the conclusive chapters, and in a very accessible manner.
Defintely a "must have" for every "mechanician".

Hi Vicky,
For teaching elements of fracture, failure, plasticity (and possibly, wear) a good book would be "Mechanical Behavior of Materials"by Meyers and Chawla (Cambridge Press).
The other book would be "Solid Mechanics" by William Hosford(Cambridge Press).
