Abstract:The need to reduce the ecological footprint of (water, land, air) vehicles in this era of climate change requires pushing the limits in the development of lightweight structures and materials. This requires a thorough understanding of their thermo-mechanical behaviour at several stages of the production chain. Moreover, during service, the response of lightweight alloys under the simultaneous influence of mechanical loads and temperature can determine the lifetime and performance of a multitude of structural c… Show more
