Sommario/riassunto

Light design, high safety and comfort, and environmental compatibility are the requirements which influence the use of materials in automobiles. In the aerospace industry today, it is necessary to substantially reduce development time and costs. Rail vehicles and ships are characterized by extremely long lifetime and high mileages. The achievement of these different objectives depends on the availability of novel or improved materials and related processes. This text looks into these issues.
