Rolling Bearing and Rotor System Modeling and Simulation, Monitoring and Control, and Performance Diagnosis

Dear Colleagues,

Rolling bearings and rotor systems, as the core functional components of machine tools, play an important role in the stability of the machine tool and the integrity of the cutting surface. With the development of modern industrial technology, higher requirements are put forward for the service performance of rolling bearings and rotor systems. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research from two aspects of design simulation and service guarantee to ensure the high efficiency and balance of the performance of the rolling bearing and rotor systems.

With the increase in modern computing capabilities, new methods are required for the design optimization, experiment, condition monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics of rolling bearing and rotor systems. This Special Issue is meant to cover topics related to mathematical modeling, optimization, dynamics, tribology, machine learning, etc., aiming at improving reliability, flexibility, and accuracy, extending the lifetime, and reducing the design costs of rolling bearing and rotor systems.

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.
