Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rolling bearings are widely used and investigated as mechanical systems, and they are currently facing new challenges relating to new technologies such as electric vehicles and sustainable development.
Their related rolling elements (balls, rollers, needles), less studied in bibliography, need to be investigated and developed in parallel with the investigation on their fatigue performance and their potential defects, limit and impacts.
The development of new materials, new technologies and manufacturing processes for rolling elements requires a deeper investigation on material behavior, to estimate the failure mechanisms and the life of systems during service.
The investigation of the fatigue behavior of rolling element when affected by manufacturing processes, material properties, surface and inner defects can become, in this frame, critical.
The Special Issue aims at presenting the latest research on rolling elements manufacturing, damage detection and localization and their influence on rolling elements’ life expectancy. The topics welcome in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: numerical analyses, analytical analyses, description of experimental setups and experimental activities, and the study of discontinuities and characteristics impact.
Moreover, applications and case studies will be welcome.

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. Metals 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.
