The book "Engineering Design: A Systematic Approach" by Gerhard Pahl, Jörg Feldhusen, and Karl-Heinrich Grote is a comprehensive guide to systematic engineering design. The third edition, published by Springer, covers the fundamentals of technical systems, the systematic approach, product planning, solution finding, and evaluation. It details the product development process, including task clarification, conceptual design, embodiment design, and detail design. The book also discusses generic solutions such as mechanical connections, mechatronics, and adaptronics, and addresses size ranges and modular products. Additionally, it covers design for quality and minimum cost, with sections on Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and target costing. The authors emphasize the importance of a systematic approach in engineering design, providing practical examples and checklists to guide designers through the entire design process. The book has been translated into multiple languages and is recognized as an international reference text in the field of engineering design.The book "Engineering Design: A Systematic Approach" by Gerhard Pahl, Jörg Feldhusen, and Karl-Heinrich Grote is a comprehensive guide to systematic engineering design.
