Governing Idea: The structure of next generation vehicles will very likely be multi-material, to minimize weight and maximize strength and utility. This drives many challenges in design, materials and manufacturing. The Ohio State University has a wealth of expertise that can be brought to bear on light vehicle structures. This meeting is an opportunity to discuss these strengths among OSU researchers and seek collaborations.
