Aims and Scope
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.

Overall, the entire process was completed within two and a half months, indicating a very fast review speed.
JMD is a top supplement journal of Tianjin University. One publication fulfills the requirements for a doctoral graduation. However, why did it drop to Zone 3 this year when it was in Zone 2 in 2021?
This manuscript was previously submitted to the top journal MMT, but at that time, it did not have any experiments. It was criticized by the two reviewers for lacking innovation. Later, the approach was modified, focusing on the main content with innovative points and additional experiments were included. The manuscript was then submitted to JMD and accepted. It seems that purely theoretical and simulation-based articles are not easily accepted, despite the presence of many theoretical articles by top researchers in MMT.

The reviewer's comments were demanding, focusing on details and posing challenging questions. Essentially, they required a significant overhaul of the methodology and experimental sections. When resubmitting the revised paper, I did not indicate the modifications within the text, prompting the associate editor to contact me and request a re-submission. As a result, it shows two rounds of revisions.
Overall, the paper emphasizes theoretical value, which explains its high recognition within the industry. If the theoretical value is not strong, solely relying on engineering and technical aspects is not recommended for submission.
