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.

Is there anyone who can suggest which editor is suitable for the field of rock mechanics?

The first trial took one month, and the second trial took two months, so it can be said that the process was very fast.
