Which Books Offer the Toughest Problems on Mechanical Properties for Olympiads?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the most challenging problem books related to the mechanical properties of solids and fluids, particularly those suitable for olympiad preparation. A list of recommended texts includes "Advanced Mechanics of Materials" by Arthur P. Boresi and Richard J. Schmidt, "Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity" by Ansel C. Ugural and Saul K. Fenster, and "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" by Marc André Meyers, among others. The original poster expresses uncertainty about the quality of questions in these books and seeks input on their effectiveness for rigorous study in these subjects.

TL;DR Summary: I need the toughest problem books for mechanical properties of solids and mechanical properties of fluids, much better if they're relevant for olympiads.

I do have a list of books here:

The answer can of course be out of these books, im not even sure of their quality of quesitons
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
