Book Description

January 1992 0070313377 978-0070313378
The importance of safety in design cannot be overestimated. Designers who are responsible for hazardous products may be held personally responsible for damages. To that end, this book includes a chapter on how to deal with litigation. The book describes and illustrates the fundamentals of design that can effectively help the engineer achieve a safer manufactured product in the design phase. The book is oriented toward the mechanical and structural aspects of design, the human factor in design, codes, standards and legal requirements. Case histories and examples are included.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Emphasizing the mechanical and structural aspects of design, this text thoroughly examines the special safety requirements of consumer, industrial and commercial products. Proven techniques for recognizing and preventing hazards are investigated giving detailed converage to such areas as motion analysis, loads and stresses, and material selection and processing. The use of numerous case histories and examples helps to supplement and clarify the various issues discussed." -- Electronic Packaging & Production, 7/92
