Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, environmental and sustainability issues have become increasingly important. The dynamics and lubrication of gears are growing concerns for environmental and sustainability issues. The dynamics and lubrication of gears have been important under higher loads, speed, temperature and performance expectations in multiple powertrain applications, including automotive, aeronautical and marine applications. Therefore, recent advances in the dynamics and lubrication of gears will be able to be effectively utilized. This topic is effective for the improvement of the efficiency of machines.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and applications related to gear technologies, including gear dynamics analysis, tooth contact analysis, vibration control, noise reduction, and lubrication techniques, etc. We welcome original research articles, review papers, and case studies related to these topics. Contributions with real experiments are encouraged.

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. Machines 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 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.
