This book assists the designer in the development of parts that are functional, reliable, manufacturable, and aesthetically pleasing. Since injection molding is the most widely used manufacturing process for the production of plastic parts, a full understanding of the integrated design process presented is essential to achieving economic and functional design goals. This book features over 425 drawings and photographs.

In the 20 years, since the publication of the first edition of "Bodyspace" the knowledge base upon which ergonomics rests has increased significantly. The need for an authoritative, contemporary and, above all, usable reference is therefore great. This third edition maintains the same content and structure as previous editions, but updates the material and references to reflect recent developments in the field. The book has been substantially revised to include new research and anthropometric surveys, the latest techniques, and changes in legislation that have taken place in recent years. New coverage in the third edition includes: Guidance on design strategies and practical advice on conducting trials; overview of recent advances in simulation and digital human modes; dynamic seating; recent work on hand/handle interface; computer input devices; laptop computer use and children's use of computers; design for an aging population and accessibility for people with disabilities; and; new approaches to risk management and new assessment tools, legislation, and standards. As the previous two editions have shown, "Bodyspace" is an example of the unusual: a text that is a favourite among academics and practitioners. Losing none of the features that made previous editions so popular, the author skilfully integrates new knowledge into the existing text without sacrificing the easily accessible style that makes this book unique. More than just a reference text, this authoritative book clearly delineates the field of ergonomics.

"Designing Plastic Parts for Assembly" provides an excellent tool for both seasoned part designers and novices to the field, facilitating cost effective design decisions and ensuring that the plastic parts and products will stand up under use. The detailed yet simplified discussion of material selection, manufacturing techniques, and assembly procedures will enable the reader to evaluate plastic materials and to adequately design plastic parts for assembly. The book describes good joint design and implementation, the geometry and nature of the component parts, the types of load involved, and other basic information necessary in order to work successfully in this field. Throughout, the treatment is practice-oriented and focused on everyday problems and situations. The 7th edition introduces a completely new chapter on overmolding and in-mold assembly, as well as a new chapter on bonding, including accompanying examples. Laser molding and ultrasonics coverage are also brought up to date, with illustrative case histories. Contents: - Understanding Plastic Materials - Understanding Safety Factors - Strength of Materials for Plastics - Nonlinear Considerations - Assembly Techniques for Plastics - Press Fitting - Living Hinges - Snap Fitting - Bonding - In-Mold Assembly

The tools of design research, writes Brenda Laurel, will allow designers "to claim and direct the power of their profession." Often neglected in the various curricula of design schools, the new models of design research described in this book help designers to investigate people, form, and process in ways that can make their work more potent and more delightful. "At the very least," Peter Lunenfeld writes in the preface, "design research saves us from reinventing the wheel. At its best, a lively research methodology can reinvigorate the passion that so often fades after designers join the profession." The goal of the book is to introduce designers to the many research tools that can be used to inform design as well as to ideas about how and when to deploy them effectively. The chapter authors come from diverse institutions and enterprises, including Stanford University, MIT, Intel, Maxis, Studio Anybody, Sweden?s HUMlab, and Big Blue Dot. Each has something to say about how designers make themselves better at what they do through research, and illustrates it with real world examples-case studies, anecdotes, and images. Topics of this multi-voice conversation include qualitative and quantitative methods, performance ethnography and design improvisation, trend research, cultural diversity, formal and structural research practice, tactical discussions of design research process, and case studies drawn from areas as unique as computer games, museum information systems, and movies. Interspersed throughout the book are one-page "demos," snapshots of the design research experience. Design Research charts the paths from research methods to research findings to design principles to design results and demonstrates the transformation of theory into a richly satisfying and more reliably successful practice.

In The Design of Future Things, best-selling author Donald A. Norman presents a revealing examination of smart technology, from smooth-talking GPS units to cantankerous refrigerators. Exploring the links between design and human psychology, he offers a consumer-oriented theory of natural human-machine interaction that can be put into practice by the engineers and industrial designers of tomorrow's thinking machines. A fascinating look at the perils and promise of the intelligent objects of the future, The Design of Future Things is a must-read for anyone interested in the dawn of a new era in technology.
