Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers to contribute original and review articles addressing the critical challenge of friction-induced vibration and noise (FIVN). These phenomena, prevalent in mechanical systems from brakes and drivetrains to precision instruments, significantly impact performance, reliability, acoustic comfort, and energy efficiency. This Special Issue aims to explore the fundamental mechanisms, predictive modeling, and innovative mitigation strategies related to FIVN. We welcome interdisciplinary studies spanning tribology, dynamics, materials science, and acoustics. Topics include but are not limited to the following: nonlinear dynamics of frictional systems, the role of surface engineering and lubricants, advanced damping materials, condition monitoring, and novel experimental or numerical techniques. Your contributions will help advance our understanding and control of these complex tribo-dynamic interactions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
