rule of thumb design
rule of thumb design
(OP)
Hi all,
I am collecting all "rules of thumb" examples in engineering used to either design or give a design a quick sanity check. Could you please e-mail any that you use or know of to me. If you know the origin or explanation (maths) behind it, I would appreaciate it.
I think it is very interesting and have to date not yet found a database of these "quick short cuts", which is the result of years of experince in engineering.

For a very reasonable price you get many of that discipline's basic formulas and tables. Even if you are not taking the exam, I would recommend it. I still use mine often.
I think the website is:

The link you gave does not work and a quick google search also did not give me any good links.
Can you give any more information?
Thanks
