Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribology is a key discipline in many applied sciences such as mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, material science, and medicine as well as in ecology and energy management.
In the study of tribological matters, use of a pure theoretical approach is often inadequate for fully describing phenomena such friction, wear, and lubrication, and the combination of computational and digital methods is becoming increasingly crucial for detecting and predicting faults in mechanical and biomedical components.
This Special Issue is focused on the application of digital and computational methods in the field of tribology. Both experimental and modeling applications fall into the topics of this Special Issue.
Particularly welcome are works that validate preliminary numerical simulations with experimental digital methods, although also papers focused on pure computational or pure digital experimental works are also welcome.
Papers focused on the application of innovative digital methods in tribology are also encouraged, which may serve as starting points for new clever and effective techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
