The present doctoral thesis aims at introducing the Ultrasonic Joining (U-Joining), a new joining approach to produce through-the-thickness reinforced metal-composite hybrid joints that have improved out-of-plane strength. In order to demonstrate the process feasibility and describe the correlation between process and joint properties, a case study approach was chosen, using commercially available glass-fiber reinforced polyetherimide and MIM-Structured Ti-6Al-4V.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.15480/882.1956} (DOI).
