In case you missed it, a recording of JMD’s 9th webinar on Emerging Technologies and Methods for Early-Stage Product Design and Development is now available.
The purpose of this special issue is to synthesize the state-of-the-art research on technologies and methods that augment the performance of designers in the front-end of PDD—from understanding user needs to conceptual design, prototyping, and development of systems architecture while also emphasizing the critical need to understand the designer and their role as well.
In our modern world, complex systems such as power grids, transportation networks, and communication systems can be disrupted by both internal uncertainties and external factors like natural disasters. To make these systems more resilient, researchers have been working on design strategies that improve both reliability and recovery capabilities.
What can ants teach us about making better factories? Check out this paper recently published on JMD for a decentralized approach based on simple rules to enable multi-robot cooperative additive manufacturing.
The Editor and Editorial Board of the Journal of Mechanical Design would like to thank all of the reviewers for volunteering their expertise and time reviewing manuscripts in 2022. We would also like to acknowledge four outstanding Reviewers of the Year and seven Reviewers With Distinction.
The March 2023 ASME Journal of Mechanical Design Special Issue: Selected Papers from IDETC 2022 includes 18 manuscripts in the areas of Design Theory and Methodology, Design Automation, Design for Manufacture and the Life Cycle, and Design Education.
Together with the Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, the Journal of Mechanical Design welcomes submissions to the Joint Special Issue on Advances in Design and Manufacturing for Sustainability. This call focuses on the main challenges the design and manufacturing communities face regarding sustainability and seeks to identify emerging research trends as well as current industry practices for integrating sustainability principles into the design and implementation of engineered systems and processes.
A recording of JMD’s 8th Webinar: Co-Design of Robotic Systems is now available on YouTube.
The Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD) is pleased to share the exciting news that former JMD Editor-in-Chief, Professor Panos Y. Papalambros has been elected as a member of the National Academy Engineering (NAE). As announced by NAE on February 7, 2023, this prestigious recognition was based on Professor Papalambros’s “contributions to complex systems optimization and leadership in advancing transformative engineering design research and education.”
