Abstract
The combination of techniques is central to this book. In the six previous chapters it has been discussed, how geometrical parameters or material properties can be assessed. However, it has not been analyzed in detail, from an analytical point of view, how and why these combinations work. What are the possible limits and their most interesting fields of interest? In this last chapter, our objective is to highlight some general principles so as to better understand what (and why) can be efficient strategies of combination. New challenges will be addressed and priorities for future developments will be identified.
