Strength and Energy Absorption of Self-Piercing Riveted Joints

Abstract:

With increasing application of self-piercing riveting (SPR) in different industrial fields, the demand for a better understanding of the knowledge of strength and energy absorption characteristics of the SPR joints is required. It is also important for SPR to benefit from the advantages of adhesively bonding. It is commonly understood that the addition of adhesive in SPR joints is beneficial but it is not clear if there are negative effects on mechanical properties of SPR joints. In present study, deformation and failure of homogeneous joints under monotonic tensile loading were studied for validating the strength and energy absorption of SPR and SPR-bonded hybrid joints.
