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.
