Create designs that are explicitly simple-keep complexity intrinsic -- Keep the functions of a design independent from one another -- Use exact constraint when designing structures and mechanisms-never overconstrain a design -- Plan the load path in parts, structures, and assemblies -- Triangulate parts and structures to make them stiffer -- Avoid bending stresses. Prefer tension and compression -- Improve designs with self-help -- Manage friction in mechanisms -- Use three-dimensional solid model layouts to find the best arrangement of parts and assemblies -- Invert geometry to reveal new solutions -- Build prototypes of everything-but not all at once -- Separate strength from stiffness-and stiffness from strength -- Never overlook buckling phenomena in parts and structures -- Analyze and test for trends and relationships -- Identify contingency plans to minimize risks in design -- Avoid press fits -- Use closed sections or three-dimensional bracing for torsional rigidity -- When designing springs, use a low spring rate and a high initial deflection -- Minimize and localize the tolerance path in parts and assemblies -- Use mechanical amplification to reduce failures -- Include lead-ins in assembled designs -- Design assemblies to be self-locating, self-fixturing, self-securing, self-aligning, self-adjusting -- Use self-assembling symmetry to create a whole from two halves.
