| The book of Leijendeckers is a small book covering a lot of things of engineering in general. The book of Nigel Cross covers the more general topics about design methodologies. As an Industrial Designer you will recognize a lot of these methodologies. |

Mechanical Design
Introductory book
A very good introductory book about Mechanical Design is:
- [Skakoon2008]Skakoon J.G., The Elements of Mechanical Design, ASME Press, 2008.
The main rules from this book are:
Create designs that are explicitly simple - keep complexity intrinsic
Keep the functions of a design independent from one another
Use exact constraint when designing structures and mechanisms. Never overconstrain a design!
- Plan the load path in parts, structures and assemblies.
Triangulate parts and structures to make them stiffer
- Avoid bending stresses. Prefer tension and compression.
Improve designs with self-help.
Manage friction in mechanisms. Use friction deliberately or avoid it completely.
Important topics:
Important topics in Design and Mechanical Design in particular are:
Design for manufacturability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_manufacturability
Design for assembly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_assembly
Topics recently of more importance, because we only have 1 Earth, are:
