TL;DR Summary: Pretty much confused about an advanced elasticity book.Resource recommendation is asked.
My last semester in freshman year of bs physics included a chapter on elasticity,it was not at the advanced level and by advanced level i mean atleast the tensor stuff.Well,I want to read that subject on 'more depth',therefore I learned the chapter on 'Tensors'from The Feynman Lectures on Physics volume 2,then I went to the chapter 'Elasticity' followed the 'Elastic Materials'(the chapter where he introduced the strain tensor and the tensor of elasticity) in the same book.For reference,my 1st semester course on elasticity was more or less at the same level of 'Elasticity' from the Feynman's book.
For more depth which books should I follow?I find the book Modern Classical Physics by Kip Thorne and R. Blandford,but it seems to be a master's level book,which I don't have a problem with but I don't know about the mathematical requisite of it.I also found this book Fluid Dynamics and Linear Elasticity by Ruderman but it's a book in applied mathematics.Right now I am quite confused,I am looking for a book which provides rigor as well as good amount of practice problem.Any help will be admired,correct me if I got anything wrong.
