Systems Engineering The Art of Systems Architecting Third Edition

Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design

Mark W. Maier

Third Edition

Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia, USA Series: Systems Engineering

Mahmoud M. Farag The American University in Cairo, Egypt

Extensively revised to reflect the latest developments, the third edition of this bestselling text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provides methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.

Since the publication of the second edition, changes have occurred in the fields of materials and manufacturing. Industries place more emphasis on manufacturing products and goods locally, nanostructured and smart materials appear more frequently in products, and more emphasis is placed on how products affect the environment. In addition, there has been a change in how the subjects of materials and manufacturing are taught. This third edition of a bestseller has been comprehensively revised and reorganized to reflect these changes. It also includes more real-world case studies. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.
