Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design
Mechanical design is a complex process, requiring many skills. Extensive relationships need to be subdivided into a series of simple tasks. The complexity of the process requires a sequence in which ideas are introduced and iterated.

We first address the nature of design in general, and then mechanical engineering design in particular. Design is an iterative process with many interactive phases. Many resources exist to support the designer, including many sources of information and an abundance of computational design tools. Design engineers need not only develop competence in their field but they must also cultivate a strong sense of responsibility and professional work ethic.
There are roles to be played by codes and standards, ever-present economics, safety, and considerations of product liability. The survival of a mechanical component is often related through stress and strength. Matters of uncertainty are everpresent in engineering design and are typically addressed by the design factor and
factor of safety, either in the form of a deterministic (absolute) or statistical sense.
The latter, statistical approach, deals with a design’s reliability and requires good statistical data. In mechanical design, other considerations include dimensions and tolerances, units, and calculations.
