Principles for practical mechanical design

James G. Skakoon presents foundational mechanical-design principles and practices in a concise guide informed by his own experience and input from other designers. The book is framed as both an introduction and a refresher, making its emphasis practical: it sets out concepts that engineers can draw on across their design work. Its focus is on articulating core design practices, rather than on a single project or specialized application.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Engineers looking for a concise refresher on design principles and practices

Book overview

From one of the authors of The Unwritten Laws of Engineering and The Unwritten Laws of Business, this concise and readable book is an excellent primer or refresher for any professional interested in the basic principles and practices of good mechanical design. In this handy and unique volume the author uses his own experience, along with input from other expert designers, to explicitly state design principles and practices. Readers will not have to discover these principles on their own and will be able to apply these fundamental concepts throughout their designs.
