Good Stress/Structural Analysis books?

[Stringmaker]

I'm a 25 year old with a couple years under my belt now since graduating with my BS. While I work with FEA and damage tolerance methods everyday and am persuing my MS I'm looking for some good material on stress analysis. Does anyone have any suggestions of good books on this topic? I really love this field and want to be the best I can be at it. I already have the classis books such as Peterson's and Roark's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
-Brian

My vote is 3 books--two by Timoshenko, Theory of Elasticity and Theory of Plates and Shells, and Tada/Paris, Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook (now is a very nicely bound book by ASME).

Having had Paris as a professor of fracture mechanics I can attest to the value of something he's authored.

Timoshenko is also another good sourse for a theoretical background in advanced mechanics of materials.

Also, Roark's formulas for stress and strain is useful to benchmark a FEA against.
