Engineering Design : A Systematic Approach

This proven and internationally recognized text teaches the methods of engineering design as a condition of successful product development. It breaks down the design process into phases and then into distinct steps, each with its own working methods. Earlier editions of this book already have a well-known reputation among engineering designers. The book has been translated by two of the worlds most respected English-speaking engineering designers. It provides in-depth and comprehensive coverage of its subject; it sharply written and is well-illustrated with many examples that make this the standard textbook on engineering design. The book provides more examples of product development; it also tightens the scientific bases of its design ideas with new solution fields in composite components, building methods, mechatronics and adaptronics.
