Mechanical Design
Welcome from the editor
The ASME Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD) serves the broad
design community as a venue for scholarly, archival research in all aspects of
the design activity. JMD has traditionally served the ASME Design Engineering
Division and its technical committees, but it welcomes contributions from all
areas of design with emphasis on synthesis.
Example topics include:
Design automation,
including design representation, virtual reality, geometric design, design evaluation,
design optimization, risk and reliability-based optimization, design
sensitivity analysis, system design integration, ergonomic and aesthetic
considerations, and design for market systems
Design of direct
contact systems, including cams, gears and power transmission systems
Design education
Design of energy,
fluid, and power handing systems
Design innovation
and devices, including design of smart products and materials
Design for
manufacturing and the life cycle, including design for the environment, DFX,
and sustainable design
Design of
mechanisms and robotic systems, including design of macro-, micro- and
nano-scaled mechanical systems, machine component, and machine system design
Design theory and
methodology, including creativity in design, decision analysis, design
cognition, and design synthesis.
The connecting thread among all these topics is the emphasis
on design, rather than just analysis. Design scholarship is based on careful
analysis models, whether physical, computational, or behavioral, and has design
intent: creating something in the physical world we live in, rather than just
analyzing what is happening in it.
This site is a communication forum for the design community,
and is a companion to the ASME Journals Digital Submission site. We provide
more information about the journal, its scope, practices, and philosophy; short
biographies of the editorial board that serves our authors; and a list of
frequently asked questions (FAQs). We continue to update the site based on your
input. Welcome to the JMD community!
