The use of lightweight metals and composites to replace heavy structural materials for military hardware and weapons systems (ships, aircraft, ground vehicles, etc.) is a new strategic consideration for defence forces; falling under Naval S&T Strategic Plans. The objectives of the workshop were to seek state-of-the-art ideas, from outside of the continental United States, in the field of low-density metallic materials and composites for structural applications, as well as modeling and simulation software tools which are capable of generating and identifying damage evolution data for health monitoring, corrosion control, life prediction and assessment of civil and military hardware systems.

This volume collects the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of shell and spatial structures, as presented by leading international researchers at the 2nd Italian Workshop on Shell and Spatial Structures (IWSS), held in Turin, Italy on June 26-28, 2023. The conference was meant to give an overview on experimental and theoretical studies, analysis methods and approaches for the design, computational form finding, structural optimization, manufacturing, testing and maintenance techniques and historical reviews of all types of shell and spatial structures. These include, but are not limited to, tension and membrane structures, framed and lattice structures, gridshells and active-bending structures, shell roofs, tensegrity structures, pneumatic and inflatable structures, active and deployable structures, concrete, metal, masonry, timber and bio-based, spatial structures. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.

More than ever, future developments in technologies and products will be judged by the extent to which they improve resource efficiency and take effective climate and environmental protection into account. Germany is seeing great innovative and growth potential for key interacting technologies in the area of multifunctional lightweight structures. This book presents select research findings for new combinations of technology that have been developed by Germany's first Federal Cluster of Excellence in the field of lightweight structures (MERGE). The presented findings promise to be particularly sustainable and broadly impactful in their application. New methods, potential solutions, and examples of pilot applications take center stage as the text explores the next generation of functional integration via lightweight structures. The underlying manufacturing processes are based on textile, polymer, and metal processing techniques, all of which are suited for large batch production, flexibility, and reproducibility. Contents Hybrid construction methods and technologies Semi-finishing and preform technologies Metal-intensive hybrid technologies Textile and polymer-based technologies Micro and nano system integration Surface and interface technologies Modeling, integrative simulation and optimization Editor Prof. Lothar Kroll directs the Institute of Lightweight Structures and the Affiliated Institute CETEX at Chemnitz University of Technology. As part of his professorship of Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology at TU Chemnitz and his work for the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology as Head of the STEX Research Center as well as the ALighT project center (located in Poland), his efforts focus on research and development in the area of textile-reinforced plastics and hybrid lightweight structures and their associated in-line and in situ combinations of technologies (so-called MERGE technologies).
