contents Three new combinations of convex bodies are introduced and studied: the $L_p$ fiber, $L_p$ chord and graph combinations. These combinations are defined in terms of the fibers and graphs of pairs of convex bodies, and each operation generalizes the classical Steiner symmetral, albeit in different ways. For the $L_p$ fiber and $L_p$ chord combinations, we derive Brunn--Minkowski-type inequalities and the corresponding Minkowski's first inequalities. We also prove that the general affine surface areas are concave (respectively, convex) with respect to the graph sum, thereby generalizing fundamental results of Ye (Indiana Univ. Math. J., 2014) on the monotonicity of the general affine surface areas under Steiner symmetrization. As an application, we deduce a corresponding Minkowski's first inequality for the $L_p$ affine surface area of a graph combination of convex bodies.
