This book presents principles, rules, guidelines, and tips useful for designers and engineers when they design mechanical parts and assemblies. It contains descriptions and examples of real-world, practical ideas that come from successful design experience. Applying the book's ideas and methods during detail design will improve how designers develop products and will result in superior mechanical designs. The contents focus on mechanical design at the detailed level: how should parts and assemblies be configured for optimum performance. Methods are provided for synthesis and analysis in mechanical design. Basic design practices that will improve the strength, robustness, function, user handling, and manufacturability of parts and assemblies are described in depth. Guidelines for selecting plastic, rubber, and metal materials are presented. Finally, the book includes useful tips for selecting and designing components such as bolts, nuts, screws, springs, and adhesive joints. This book contains information that is in the past could only be accumulated after years of experience and interaction with other designers. It is of interest to mechanical design and project engineers, as well as to industrial designers and engineering managers.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Important little tips that are sometimes overlooked....,

This review is from: Detailed Mechanical Design: A Practical Guide (Hardcover)
The great thing about this book is that it contains many little helpful tips about how to make parts of your designs better. Although not a text that teaches you a lot of theory and problems, it has a strong base of examples and from those it allows you to see many different situations in which small details can be improved, and lead to huge differences. For any practical designer I would highly recommend it. The only downfall is that it's small, and when I bought it, expensive.

This review is from: Detailed Mechanical Design: A Practical Guide (Hardcover)
Though small, this book is full of detailed ideas that will make your mechanical designs functional and fit well. Many will read this and get the idea that it does not have anything new, but once you start to read it - you begin to think about the implication of the ideas presented. When I first read this book all I could think of was my past designs that I was less than happy with. I wish I would have had this a lot earlier and of course, payed attention to it.
Will this book make you a better mechanical design engineer? Only if you want to be better. Part of the title contains the words "A Practical Guide" and it is just that. I highly recommend it.
