Very often, innovative materials act as trailblazers for the introduction of new technologies and products. Hybrid materials and structures made or joined from several individual components are playing an increasingly important role in the industrial applications of mechanical engineering and construction.

« Hybrid Materials and Structures 2020 » covers the entire spectrum of topics, from basic materials to design, from production to application, and thus provides the basis for an in-depth understanding of application-specific material and component behavior. The only limitation is the focus on material combinations that perform structural tasks in some way.
