Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on lubrication, friction and wear in marine engineering equipment and ships. Marine engineering equipment and high-tech ships are key development fields for ocean exploitation and utilization. The lubrication property of bearing in the power and propulsion system determines the system’s working efficiency, dynamic stability and operation effect, which is of vital importance for the operation of marine equipment and ships. To meet the low carbon and environmental protection requirements and the trend for intelligent management in the marine industry, new designs, materials, simulation methods and experimental techniques are needed to improve lubrication performance.
I invite you to submit an article related to the subject of this Special Issue, “Marine Tribology”. The journal plans to collect 10 pieces of literature related to lubrication and wear in marine equipment and vessels and then publish them in print number is reached. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. The specific topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- Lubrication mechanism of bearing;
- Water-lubricated bearing;
- Lubricant microstructure characterization;
- Simulation and analysis of lubricants;
- Corrosion/wear behavior of materials in ocean;
- Friction and wear properties of the coating;
- Friction-induced vibration
- Intelligent lubricating management;
- Novel structural design;
- Optimization analysis of marine equipment;
- Dynamic characteristics;
Other aspects of lubrication and wear in marine equipment and vessels.

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.
