Advances in Hybrid Structure Manufacturing Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced manufacturing technologies are required to produce hybrid structures with advanced high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, composites, etc. Additionally, they are needed to effectively join hybrid structures together, which can contribute to increasing the weight-to-strength structural performance of transportation components and decreasing the fuel consumption and gas emission of transportation systems.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the discussion of open issues and challenges related to various manufacturing strategies employable in hybrid structures.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Design and analysis for the manufacturing of hybrid structures;
• Advanced and novel manufacturing technologies for hybrid structures;
• Additive manufacturing technologies for hybrid structures;
• Advanced joining technologies for hybrid structures

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
