Abstract

Self-piercing riveting(SPR) is becoming an important joining technique for automotive application of various material sheets and shapes. Fatigue behavior of SPR conections needs to be investigated experimentally and numerically to predict SPR fatigue lives. The simulations of various SPR specimens (Coach-Peel specimen, Cross-Tension specimen, Tensile-Shear specimen, Pure-Shear specimen) are performed to predict the fatigue life of SPR connections under different material combinations. Finite element models of various SPR specimens are developed using a FEMFAT SPOT SPR pre-processor. The fatigue lives of SPR specimens are predicted using a FEMFAT 4.4e based on the liner finite element analysis.
