Filling a new need in engineering education, Getting Design Right: A Systems Approach integrates aspects from both design and systems engineering to provide a solid understanding of the fundamental principles and best practices in these areas. Through examples, it encourages students to create an initial product design and project plan.

Classroom-tested and industry-reviewed, the text focuses on the steps of a basic design cycle. It first defines the problem, establishes technical requirements, and identifies the customer value proposition. The text then...

In modern systems signal processing is performed in the digital domain. Contrary to analog circuits, digital signal processing offers more robustness, programmability, error correction and storage possibility. The trend to shift the A/D converter towards the input of the system requires A/D converters with more dynamic range and higher sampling speeds. This puts extreme demands on the A/D converter and potentially increases the power consumption.

Calibration Techniques in Nyquist A/D Converters analyses different A/D-converter architectures with an emphasis...

This book describes inventions and designs of ancient engineers that are the precursors of the present. The ages mainly range from 300 B.C. to 1600 A.D. with some exceptions from before and after this period.

As for the very ancient ones, the book describes inventions (documented by archaeological finds mainly from Pompei, Ercolano and Stabia) that generally are very little known and sometimes not known at all. Some inventions are in the military field. This is because (unfortunately) many inventions and technological innovations have been conceived starting from military applications....

Innovating in Product/Process Development demonstrates how to achieve true innovation in product development, and how to launch a new product in the quickest and cheapest way.

The new approach to product development proposed in this book is based on the most recent research in the field. It suggests the integration of several tools that are currently only used independently, with the aim of stimulating the creation of innovative ideas in general, and specifically in the areas of product/process improvements and problem solving.

Innovating in Product/Process Development explores...

In this book, the Russian expertise in the field of the design of precise vacuum mechanics is summarized. A wide range of physical applications of mechanism design in electronic, optical-electronic, chemical, and aerospace industries is presented in a comprehensible way.

The globalisation of manufacturing has led to a need for a common language which can be used throughout the entire product development life cycle. Advanced Design and Manufacturing Based on STEP discusses the most successful of the proposed solutions the Standard for Exchange of Product model, or STEP. STEP aims to provide a complete computer-interpretable product data format, so that users can integrate business and technical data to support all aspects of the product development cycle, e.g., design, analysis, manufacturing, sales and customer services. Of particular significance is the...

Cradle-to-grave analyses are becoming the norm, as an increasing amount of corporations and government agencies are basing their procurement decisions not only on initial costs but also on life cycle costs. And while life cycle costing has been covered in journals and conference proceedings, few, if any, books have gathered this information into an easily accessible resource. Eliminating the need to consult many different sources, Life Cycle Costing for Engineers brings together up-to-date life cycle costing concepts and explains their application in various industrial...

Die Entwicklung technischer Produkte ist weit mehr als Konstruktion und Design, Mechatronik, Kundenanforderungen, Corporate Design, Variantenzahl - nur einige Stichworte, die die Komplexitat andeuten, fur deren Beherrschung Arbeitsmethoden unumganglich sind.

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die Beschreibung und Vernetzung von Arbeitsmethoden in der Produktentwicklung. Die Methoden werden in ihrer Struktur sowie ihren Wirkmechanismen beschrieben, nicht als "Rezepte" vermittelt, sondern als eine sinnvolle Kette von Fragen und alternativen Moglichkeiten der Beantwortung dieser Fragen....
