Double-sided self-pierce riveting: rivet geometry optimization
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Important developments have been achieved for self-pierce riveting with the utilization of a double-sided tubular rivet that is able to join sheets of similar and dissimilar materials with different and larger thicknesses, while remaining hidden in-between the sheets after the joining process is completed. Nevertheless, the performance of those joints can still be improved by an optimization of the rivet parameters, mainly the chamfered angle of the rivet ends and the ratio between the initial height and thickness of the rivet. In this paper, the correct parameter combination is established by the performance of the obtained joint to shear destructive tests, the requirements of force and energy, as well as the dimension of the protuberance produced above the sheets surface. The influence of the introduction of an additional rivet in the overall performance of the mechanical joint is also discussed. Joints of different thinner and thicker sheets are analysed, as well as the combination between those thicknesses, to extend the range of applications of the new joining by forming process.
