“…Hybridization will more and more be extended to the field of smart structures and material‐integrated intelligent systems, addressing markets beyond the already deeply investigated aerospace or wind energy plant structural health monitoring and using AM as well as other manufacturing processes like metal casting (see Figure f) as vehicle . A specific motivation for this latter point may be found in the trend toward autonomous driving.…”

“…Transformation is nothing new to the transport industry at large, but if there is any constancy at all in this sector, it is the quest for lightweight design solutions . E‐mobility, which has certainly rocked the foundations of the automotive industry and is just starting to open up new perspectives in aerospace and maritime engineering, has all but changed the persistent interest in ever‐lighter structural solutions.…”

The present text introduces a Special Section of Advanced Engineering Materials linked to the symposium Advanced Materials for Transport Applications organized by the authors within the framework of the EUROMAT 2017 conference. It introduces the contributions that make up this Special Section, and takes the fact that a majority of them is related to the broader topic of hybrid materials and structures as a motivation for a short overview of this exciting area of research.

“…This can be carried out by the introduction of multi-material designs, involving lightweight alloys such as aluminium and magnesium joined to steel as a less expensive material [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. High Power Ultrasonic Spot Welding is an energy efficient technique for joining dissimilar materials, minimizing many problems caused by comparable fusion welding processes, such as intermetallic phase formation at the interface [3,4,8,9].…”
