摘要
The automotive business is an ideal choice to examine the dramatic impact of improved materials and manufacturing processes on an industry Automakers today are able to combine high-tech materials originally applied in aerospace and other industries with the high-volume manufacture of a mass-marketed consumer product. This paper will detail how many of the changes to vehicles that have resulted from these influences over the past 50 years have been enabled by significant advances in materials and processes.
