Synopsis

Effective engineering design must be carefully planned and systematically executed. In particular, engineering design methods must integrate the many different aspects of designing and the priorities of the end-user.

This proven and internationally recognized text teaches the methods and ideas 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. Having established itself, in earlier editions, as a key text, Engineering Design (3^rd edition) is enhanced with more input from practising engineers, providing 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 and pays attention to the economic aspects of design and development including quality assurance. The third edition also integrates electronic design process technology into its methods.

Engineering Design (3^rd edition) is translated and edited by Ken Wallace, Chairman of the Engineering Design Centre at the University of Cambridge and Luciënne Blessing, Professor of Engineering Design at the Technical University of Berlin. It is translated from the sixth German edition.

Topics covered include:

• psychology of design;
• product planning and development;
• the design process including design for recycling;
• conceptual design;
• embodiment design;
• size ranges and modular products;
• design for quality and minimum cost.

Written to provide students and tutors of engineering design with all the fundamental information they require in a crucial subject, Engineering Design (3^rd edition) will also be of immense value as a reference to anyone working in the area.

À propos de l?auteur

Dr.Ing. Gerhard Pahl graduated from the Technical College of Darmstadt in 1954 and spent the next 10 years involved with the initial start-up, construction and development of turbomachines with Brown, Boveri and Cie. During the years between 1965 and 1990, Dr.Ing. Pahl was professor for Mechanical Components and Engineering Design at the Technical College of Darmstadt. He was vice-president of the German Research Foundation from 1978 to 1984 and is a member of the Berlin Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences.

Dr.Ing. Joerg Feldhusen graduated from the Technical University of Berlin in 1989. Between 1989 and 1994 he was the department head of Electronic Design at AEG Westinghouse Transportation Systems, Berlin. He then went on to become head of design and development of the Duewag railway vehicle manufacturing company, Duesseldorf, followed by technical manager of Siemens Light Rail, Düsseldorf and Erlangen. In 1999 he was made professor for Engineering Design and in 2000 director of the Institute for General Mechanical Engineering Design Technology of the Technical College of Rhineland-Westphalia in Aachen.

Dr.Ing. Karl Grote graduated from DO Berlin in 1984 and then studied for his Postdoc in the USA. In 1990 he became professor at the California State University, Long Beach, USA, before moving to the OvG Univ. Magdeburg in 1995. From October 2002 to September 2004 he was a visiting professor at the Engineering Design Research Laboratory of Professor Erik Antonsson, CalTech, Pasadena, USA.
