Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics

Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics: A translation of the highly acclaimed text by Roberto Tenenbaum (originally published in Portuguese). Tenenbaum’s book covers the full range of topics included in a complete basic course designed for undergraduate students in engineering. Requiring no more than a basic course in calculus, the text employs an intuitive approach, from the point of view of Newtonian mechanics, that avoids the complications of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalism.

The balance between analysis and practical examples also avoids the tendency of other engineering- oriented texts to assume an antipathy towards abstract thinking among engineers. The analytical approach, presented in a simple but rigorous way, gives the required tools for modeling novel practical situations.

This book gradually began to take shape as the result of the experience gained over 30 years of teaching — and learning — dynamics and related subjects. It originated from the need for a textbook more in accordance with the methodological unity dictated by the subject and which could simultaneously fulfill the tasks of teaching and training. The reader will find that the text almost always introduces general concepts before introducing specific ones.

The author’s deliberate choice to do so only appears to present more difficulties at the very beginning. Didactic experience, however, demonstrates the exact opposite: The student, exposed to a concept in its most general form, will rapidly become accustomed to it and will easily master the simplifications which occur in special cases and, most important of all, will not hesitate when faced with more complex situations.

In this book, each new concept is introduced along with an illustrative example. Since theory and practice accompany each other, the student is able to implicitly learn useful problem-solving techniques.
