Abstract

The aims of this book are to present an overview of the design process and design methodology, and to introduce the technology and selection of a number of specific machine elements that are fundamental to a wide range of engineering. This chapter introduces the design process from an inventor’s perspective to a more formal model called ‘total design’.
