Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Frictional contact remains a crucial area of study in various scientific and engineering disciplines, influencing fields such as tribology, materials science, and mechanical engineering. As the demand for more efficient, durable, and reliable systems continues to grow, the complexity of problems associated with frictional interactions has also increased. Advanced computational techniques offer innovative solutions to these challenges, providing deeper insights and more precise predictions.
This Special Issue aims to bring together pioneering research in the domain of frictional contact, focusing on the latest computational methods and their applications. We invite contributions that explore novel algorithms, modeling techniques, and integrative approaches that address the multifaceted nature of frictional contact problems.

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.
