Hybrid structures

Hybrid structures combine two or more different materials or design approaches to create a system with improved performance, durability, or functionality. Think of it like a building that uses concrete for strength and glass for aesthetics—each material optimizes specific needs. In engineering, this might mean blending materials like metal and plastic or combining traditional and modern design elements. The goal is to leverage the strengths of each component while compensating for their weaknesses, resulting in a structure that is more efficient, resilient, or versatile than using just one material or approach alone.
