Description
While this book follows up Suh's 1990 monograph, Principles of Design, is substantially different in both content and approach. This is a textbook designed for graduate students and professional engineers. After covering the fundamental principles of axiomatic design in the first three chapters, it deals with design of systems, software, materials and materials processing, manufacturing systems, and product design. This volume contains case studies and research gathered over the last ten years since the publication of its predecessor.
Reviews / Votes
"This is an original and innovative book, which builds upon and extends the area covered in Nam Suh's first book, The Principles of Design. Given Suh's eminence and far-sightedness, I think the book will be of considerable interest it a general readership, and particularly to university staff."

"Axiomatic design has the potential to impact every part of design, extending well beyond engineering. This is one of the most important and powerful concepts to come out of engineering in the last 100 years." --Christopher Brown, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
