《機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)雜志》（JMD）以設(shè)計(jì)綜合為重點(diǎn)，為廣大設(shè)計(jì)界提供設(shè)計(jì)活動(dòng)各個(gè)方面的學(xué)術(shù)、檔案研究。傳統(tǒng)上，JMD服務(wù)于ASME設(shè)計(jì)工程部及其技術(shù)委員會，但它歡迎所有設(shè)計(jì)領(lǐng)域的貢獻(xiàn)，重點(diǎn)是綜合。JMD主要以相當(dāng)深入的研究文章的形式傳達(dá)原創(chuàng)貢獻(xiàn)，同時(shí)也傳達(dá)技術(shù)簡報(bào)、設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)新論文、書評和社論。

The Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD) serves the broad design community as the venue for scholarly, archival research in all aspects of the design activity with emphasis on design synthesis. 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. JMD communicates original contributions, primarily in the form of research articles of considerable depth, but also technical briefs, design innovation papers, book reviews, and editorials.
