Degree: Finite Difference Methods in Heat Transfer
Author M. Necati Özişik
Summary: Finite Difference Methods in Heat Transfer, Second Edition focuses on finite difference methods and their application to the solution of heat transfer problems. Such methods are based on the discretization of governing equations, initial and boundary conditions, which then replace a continuous partial differential problem by a system of algebraic equations. Finite difference methods are a versatile tool for scientists and for engineers. This updated book serves university students taking graduate-level coursework in heat transfer, as well as being an important reference for researchers and engineering.
Key Features:
Provides a self-contained approach in finite difference methods for students and professionals
Covers the use of finite difference methods in convective, conductive, and radiative heat transfer
Presents numerical solution techniques to elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic problems
Includes hybrid analytical–numerical approaches

Degree: Applied Dynamics
Author Roberto A. Tenenbaum
Summary: This is a text that could be described as exemplary, both conceptual and didactic. It has eight chapters that lead the reader to reflect on and learn about the fundamental principles of Newtonian mechanics, through expositions and deductions that excel in establishing hypotheses and conceptual rigor. The theoretical presentation is complemented by carefully prepared application examples and a series of thought-provoking exercises that reveal the author's vast experience in teaching and research.

Degree: Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics
Author Roberto A. Tenenbaum
Summary: A translation of the highly acclaimed text by Roberto Tenenbaum (originally published in Portuguese). The 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.

Dutra, MS; O. Lengerke - Ed.- Mechatronics 1: Intelligent Transportation Vehicles
2011; Bentham eBooks; ISSN: 1879-4483; e-ISBN: 978-1-60805-081-9.
This e-book brings to readers the latest advances and developments in intelligent vehicles on the basis of their significance and quality. Wider dissemination of research developments will stimulate more exchanges and collaborations among the research community and contribute to further advancement of this rapidly growing field. This e-book series includes key contributions presented by different researchers. These contributions represent a wide coverage of the state-of-the-art and the emerging research directions in intelligent transportation vehicles.
The proposal to translate this work arose from the lack of a bibliography that could be adopted as a textbook for Introduction to Manufacturing Engineering courses in our country. The textbooks currently used in Manufacturing Processes are focused on specific areas (machining, forming, welding, etc.) and do not present a general overview of Manufacturing Processes. The bibliography in Portuguese with this function in the past does not present the recently developed technological processes that modern industry uses, in addition to being no longer published by the publisher. Therefore, this work aims to fill a gap in the technical literature in our country.
The group included professors and researchers from renowned universities in the state of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ, UFF, PUC-Rio, UERJ and CEFET-RJ) who work in different research areas related to Manufacturing. The translation and review process was carried out in pairs to standardize and enrich the work. The professors responsible for the translation and review of this work hope to have contributed positively to the training of engineers and to the updating of human resources in Brazilian Industry.

Title: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes
Author: Mikell P. Groover
Summary: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes provides undergraduate and technology students with a broad and comprehensive set of materials, processes, concepts and applications that are fully updated and linked to modern practices in the various areas of Engineering.
With the pedagogical proposal of being a compact reference, but with robust content and appropriate for introductory engineering courses, this book fills a bibliographic gap in courses that address different aspects of four types of materials – ceramics, metals, polymers and composites – with wide utility in industry and construction. The chapters have enlightening illustrations and end with review questions and problems that help to solidify learning. Students and teachers can also use supplementary materials in English and Portuguese, available on the LTC Editora | GEN – Grupo Editorial Nacional website, upon registration (described in the Preface of the work).
The richness and unprecedented nature of much of its content in Brazil make Introduction to Manufacturing Processes an essential work for academics, teachers and students in the sector, whether as supporting teaching material, a source of individual study or a reference work for young professionals.

Degree: Rhythms of Nature
Author Marcelo Amorim Savi
Summary: Human beings are one of the threads in the web of nature. They are part of a complex reality that has an effective but tenuous balance. Human brilliance and lack of humility have generated the mistaken pretense that they are masters of the planet and, why not say, of the entire universe. Human culture has devastated nature in a predatory way, creating a reality of confrontation and competition that has taken life to dangerous limits.
Nowadays, problems such as pollution and scarcity of essential natural resources, global warming and its consequences are already a reality in the consciousness of most people. However, the modern paradigm of consumption and competition has imprisoned human society, which makes it difficult to think of solutions.
From this perspective, we must understand the cultural and historical error of confronting nature, giving rise to a more ecological culture. We must turn to nature and perceive its splendor and strength. Nature has a symphony of sounds and images that are impossible to describe. But, through contemplation of it, we can perceive a profound peace. Peace that is brought to us by its beauty or by its harmony. To feel this peace, we just need to be careful and patient. And suddenly, when our own rhythms are in tune with the environment, we feel the same peace and harmony.
Rhythms of Nature is intended to be a declaration of love for nature. An unconditional reverence, an act of profound admiration and respect. Understanding nature is more than a challenge, it is a great adventure. And this adventure can be understood as a scientific license since our lack of knowledge is increasingly evident as time goes by. This text intends to venture to present a way of seeing nature, inserting our lives as a part of it.

In this book, Prof. Marcelo Savi presents the foundations of non-linear dynamics using language that is accessible to non-specialists and, at the same time, shows the reader how a wide range of situations, both in everyday human life and in the beauty and perfection of nature, can be understood in light of such foundations. Inspired by this book, we can marvel at nature and its rhythms, the mountains and their undulations, the waves of the sea and their creativity; at the flow of a river or the clouds and their infinite forms; at the sky and the immensity of the firmament.
