Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribology, encompassing friction, wear, lubrication, and surface interactions, plays a pivotal role in determining the efficiency, longevity, and reliability of rolling element bearings critical to various industrial applications. This Special Issue aims to compile and showcase the most recent advancements, breakthroughs, and innovative strategies in tribology as they relate to rolling element bearings. We invite contributions encompassing experimental investigations, theoretical models, and computational simulations that elucidate fundamental principles or offer novel solutions to the challenges faced in this field.
The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Computational modeling and simulation studies to enhance the understanding of tribological behaviors in rolling element bearings.
- Novel materials and coatings used for improved bearing performance and durability.
- Advanced surface engineering techniques and their impact on bearing tribology.
- Innovative lubrication strategies.
- Biomimetic design approaches to optimize bearings’ functionalities.
- New experimental discoveries and physical mechanisms.
We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners to participate in this Special Issue and contribute their valuable insights and findings to advance this field.

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.
