I am seeking a good reference work (a book or subscribable online
resource) on stress analysis as an element of mechanical engineering
design.

Are you looking for a book devoted solely to stress analysis as an
element of mechanical engineering?  Or would a general book on
mechanical engineering that includes a chapter on stress analysis be
acceptable?

Emphasis here is on a REFERENCE work primarily devoted to stress
analysis. I don't want a textbook or general ME book that makes
mention of stress analysis, but a reference source that covers the
subject thoroughly (with, I would imagine, various chart and table
resources, etc.).

Thanks.

Thank you very much for the tip.

The LOC sites would have merited my satisfaction. To go the extra mile
and include links to purchase each item turned this answer into a
great one. Thank you.
