The Mechanical Design Process

"Knowledge about the design process is increasing rapidly. A goal in writing the fourth edition of the Mechanical Design Process was to incorporate this knowledge into a unified structure - one of the strong points of the first three editions. Throughout the new edition, topics have been updated and integrated with other best practices in the book. This new edition builds on the earlier editions' reputation for being concise, direct, and for logically developing the design method with detailed how-to instructions, while remaining easy and enjoyable to read." --Book Jacket.
