Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, journal and thrust bearings have included several significant contributions related to key topics such as performance-oriented design, dynamic behavior, and lubrication, which are paving the way for future engineering challenges. Despite the great achievements obtained in the journal and thrust bearings, we are still far from being able to predict the behaviour of the rotor systems involving lubrication or contact interfaces, as well as the sealing. Latest knowledge is of outmost importance to develop strategies to respond and solve the future tricky challenges.
The current Special Issue aims at bringing together, in the same Issue, contributions from world-leading scientists working in the fields of lubrication characteristics of journal and thrust bearing, with the goal being to deepen our understanding of academic and engineering regarding the latest modelling, simulation, and measurement methods. Contributions are welcome from all scientists working in journal, thrust bearing, and related areas.

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.
