Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Vibrations and Tool Wear in Metal Cutting”, highlights recent advances in understanding the complex interplay between vibrations, tool wear mechanisms, and process stability in metal cutting operations such as turning, milling, and drilling. The scope of this Special Issue includes experimental and modeling approaches that examine the influence of the material and geometry of tools, cutting parameters, the material properties of workpieces, and wear dynamics on machining performance. We are particularly interested in studies that utilize vibrometry, acoustic emissions, and real-time sensing techniques.
This Special Issue also welcomes contributions that focus on the methods employed to predict tool life and process stability, including simulation, signal analysis, and data-driven approaches. The overarching aim of this Special Issue is to support sustainable and reliable machining by reducing tool failure and enhancing surface integrity, especially in demanding applications that involve stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, titanium alloys, and hardened steels.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
