I submitted article to this journal when it was founded. It has been 10 years since I submitted to it. Now I think it is suitable for submission because I have done some work on the fatigue of the rubber damping system recently. I feel that the journal may have a preliminary stage. It would take about 1–2 weeks before the manuscript number was given. If you receive it during this period, I should congratulate you. I received the revision review comments in about 1 month (it was assumed as a minor revision), and it was accepted within 1 week after the revision submitted.

Let me share the review process of the paper, hoping to help those in need. My research direction is the state detection of rotating machinery: gear wear research. 27/05/2020 submitted to journal; 28/05/2020 with editor; 01/06/2020 under review; 20/10/2020 minor revision; 29/10/2020 with editor; 04/11/2020 accept. The review process is fairly fast. The editor in charge is editor-in-chief R. Clegg. Basically after submission, it will be processed on the same day or the next day. The review process was delayed for some time, about 4 months. Then I sent an email to remind it, and the assistant editor replied the next day, helping us to urge the review process. The editor sent back review comments that afternoon. I hope that other people's manuscripts can be reviewed and accepted on time. I also wish EFA get better and better.

Hey, could you please ask which editor was chosen for life expectancy prediction?

(1) Thank | LLLLL.

Does this submission still need to be recommended to reviewers by the system? Or is it sufficient to just include it in the novelty statement?

(1) Thank | 日月之行

Rejected, the editor said it did not fit within the scope of the journal, but there are several articles in this journal on my topic!!! I'll check with the editor again.

Impressive, got two articles published last year, and this year, although the category hasn't changed, made it to the top.

Hello, OP! Have you received feedback from all three experts for the first review of your paper, or just from two experts?
