class="wysiwyg-color-orange"><b> is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary and open access journal that publishes letter articles on wide range of mechanical engineering.</b></span><b><span><br> <br> </span></b></span> <span>Mechanical engineer lost opportunities frequently to publish their original works, because they considered the degree of perfection important too much. Therefore, we decided to provide "Mechanical Engineering Letters" for ambitious mechanical engineers. The publication of such a letter journal is not only a new experience but also a tremendous challenge for the mechanical engineering society.<br> <br> All manuscripts are peer reviewed and once accepted will be available online and published immediately after final editing is complete. The peer-review process will be completed within 1 week in the shortest period.
