Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Acoustic emissions (AEs) refer to the transient mechanical waves (ultrasound) produced by the release of elastic energy from irreversible processes occurring in materials under stress. In sliding contacts, AE can be generated from sources associated with various tribological mechanisms, e.g., interfacial plastic deformation, cracks propagation, material transfers, and allotropic transformations.

One challenge in tribology is in obtaining access to the blinded sliding interface. AE technique is a noninvasive and promising technique that could potentially lead to major breakthroughs in the field of friction, wear, and lubrication. Presently, thanks to AE device acquisition rate and calculation capabilities, in situ and real-time monitoring of tribological mechanisms seems attainable. However, this objective needs clearer relationships to be established between tribological mechanisms and AE signals using qualitative or quantitative correlations among AE parameters and tribological, innovative experimental setups and data processing.

For the current Special Issue, “Acoustic Emission in Friction”, original papers dealing with AEs of tribological systems are welcomed. This Special Issue aims to bring new insights concerning in situ measurement in the field of tribology.

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.

Acoustic emissions from tribological contacts have become an interesting field of science in recent years. This study focuses on predicting the friction power of a given system (lubricated ring-on-disc geometry), independently of the used sliding material and lubricant, from the acoustic emissions emitted from the system. The low-frequency (1 Hz), continuously measured RMS value of the acoustic data is combined with short-duration and high-frequency (850 kHz) signal data in form of the power spectra and hit rate with three prominence levels. The classification system then predicts the friction power of the test system continuously over the whole test time. Prediction is achieved by four different machine learning methods (tree-type, support vector machine, K-nearest-neighbor, neural network) trained with data from 54 ring-on-disc tests with high variation in material and oil combinations. The method allows for the quantifiable and step-free prediction of absolute values of friction power with accuracy of 97.6% on unseen data, with a weighted K-nearest-neighbor classifier, at any point in time during an experiment. The system reacts well to rapid changes in friction conditions due to changes in load and temperature. The study shows the high information degree of acoustic emissions, concerning the actual friction mechanisms occurring and the quantitative, and not only qualitative, information that one can gain about a tribological system by analyzing them.
