Advances in Manufacturing Technology of Metal/Composite Hybrid Structures
This special issue belongs to the section “Manufacturing Processes and Systems“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced engineering composites have increasingly been manufactured and joined with different metals, such as advanced high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium, to be hybrid structures which can increase the weight-to-strength structural performance of transportation components and decrease the fuel consumption and gas emission of transportation systems.
Therefore, advanced manufacturing technologies are required to produce such metal/composite hybrid structures. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for discussion of open issues and challenges related to various manufacturing strategies employable in metal/composite hybrid structures.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Design and analysis of metal/composite hybrid structures;
- Advanced manufacturing technologies of metal/composite hybrid structures using autoclave, RTM, injection molding, PCM, etc.;
- Novel manufacturing technologies for metal/composite hybrid structures;
- Additive manufacturing for metal/composite hybrid structures;
- Advanced joining technologies for metal/composite hybrid structures.
Keywords
- Metal/composite hybrid structures
- Forming
- Injection
