Product Description

Product Description
This second volume of Pytel/Kiusalaas's two-volume series teaches students the basic mechanical behaviour of materials in motion (dynamics), while developing their mastery of engineering methods of analyzing and solving problems. It is accompanied by a second book by Pytel/Kiusalaas, "Engineering Mechanics: Statics 2/e" for the preceding statics course. It is also available, with "Statics 2/e", in a one-volume combined edition. Traditionally, books for the statics and dynamics courses (such as Beer/Johnston) require students simply to plug problem data into standardized mathematical formulas, and then compute an answer, without thinking through the problem beforehand. Pytel and Kiusalaas reject this plug-and-chug approach. In sample problems throughout the book, the authors direct students to identify the number of unknowns and independent equations in the problem first, before they attempt to calculate an answer.

1.0 out of 5 stars User Warning for European / UK readers, 8 May 2004
By A Customer
Engineering Mechanics : Dynamics can be bought coupled with Engineering Mechanics : Statics.

These books are one of the most frustrating and un-user friendly books I have ever had the joy of using.

If you are thinking of purchasing this book to help your studies - don't!

Having been written for an American audience with a mixture of non S.I. units and S.I. units the books example questions are hard to follow and relate little to being able to solve the problems set further on, throughout the book.

The use of certain symbols tend not to be very uniform and are often either confusing or not explained; leaving the reader guessing what the equation reperesents.

Diagrams for current questions often appear on the following pages meaning that the reader has to keep turning pages every 5 seconds and mathematical algebraic steps are often skipped.

Be warned - if you are buying this book and are used to using International standard units for calculations - not slugs and lb/ft then you will find it hard work!

I recommend you find a book that is more reader friendly and puts the emphasis on the user being able to learn from it! Even if it has been recommended as a Core Text!
