Good D&DT reference?
(OP)
Can anyone here recommend a good D&DT reference book? I've got the handouts and 'textbook', which was really just a collection of printed material from various sources, from the class I took a few years ago, and I have Petersons stress concentration factors, but is there a D&DT book, similar to Bruhn or Nui in the stress world, that is a good general reference?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Great list.
You should consider posting it in a FAQ since we've seen this question before.
