Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Through an in-depth exploration and understanding of the friction system's nonlinear dynamics, friction-coupled vibration, hybrid lubrication and dynamics coupling, and other complex physical phenomena, in order to enhance the performance of the system, prolong the life of the equipment, improve efficiency, and reduce energy consumption, provide strong scientific support and technical support. We would like to give priority to manuscripts related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Nonlinear dynamic model: Nonlinear dynamic problems such as gear transmission systems and vehicle friction braking systems that consider friction factors.
- Nonlinear dynamic analysis: The impact of friction on the transmission system, such as vibration, energy consumption, etc.
- Vibrational friction mechanism: Nonlinear coupling behavior between vibration and friction.
- Analysis of the dry friction vibration system: Nonlinear dynamic behavior of the vibration system with dry friction, including stick-slip vibration and system stability.
- Noise and vibration control: Friction brake noise generation mechanism, structural parameter design method to suppress noise and vibration.
- Mixed lubrication: Consider the interface mixed lubrication mechanism under extreme working conditions, such as oil-free, ultra-low speed, water lubrication, etc.
- Interface thermo-mechanical coupling behavior: Micro friction, heat transfer, and contact inclusion thermodynamics of the contact interface.
- Aero-engine rotordynamics: Stiffness nonlinearity, collision and friction failure analysis, coupled vibration, rotordynamic design, fault monitoring, and diagnosis.
- Surface modification and corrosion protection: Surface modification is to give the surface new properties, such as hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, antistatic properties, dyeing properties, etc., under the premise of maintaining the original properties of the material or product. Through surface modification, the original parts working in the environment of high speed, high temperature, high pressure, heavy load, and corrosive media can improve reliability and extend service life, which has great economic significance and popularization value.

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. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
