mechanical design
Creating functional mechanisms
Mechanical design is the engineering discipline concerned with creating physical devices and systems—determining how parts will move, bear loads, fit together, and function.
The term covers everything from designing a door hinge to planning complex machinery: She specializes in mechanical design for aerospace applications.
The process involves selecting materials, specifying dimensions, and ensuring components work reliably under expected conditions.
