Enhancing structural efficiency through novel dissimilar material joining techniques (SAFEJOINT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

There is a high demand for the design of lightweight energy efficient structures for transport applications in order to meet CO2 emissions targets set worldwide. To achieve this designers have introduced the concept of “hybrid” structures where two or more lightweight materials are used each possessing unique properties that when joined together result in high performance lightweight structures t ...
