A Study of Quality Parameters and Behaviour of Self-Piercing Riveted Aluminium Sheets with Different Joining Conditions

Abstract

This paper presents research progress in the assembly dimensional prediction area, using finite element analysis results. A case study of the SPR of two sheets of the aluminium alloy using a steel rivet was investigated. The riveting analysis has been performed for joined sheets using finite element method (FEM) with MSC Marc Mentat software.
