Self-piercing rivet(SPR) is mechanical joining methods and which can be joining dissimilar materials. Unlike conventional riveting, SPR also needs no pre-drilled holes. During plastically deformation, SPR pierces upper sheet and joins it to under sheet. SPR has been mainly applied to the joining the automobile body and some materials, such as glass fiber reinforced polymer and aluminum alloy, which represent the sheet-formed materials for lightweight automobile. Glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) has been considered as a partial application of the automobile body which is lighter than steels and stronger than aluminium alloys. It is needed SPR to join Al alloy sheets and GFRP ones. In this paper, in order to design the rivet and anvil, which are suitable for GFRP, the joinability was examined through simulations of SPR joining between GFRP and Al alloy sheets. For this study, AutoCAD was used for the modeling and the simulated using commercial FEM code DEFORM-2D. The simulated results for SPR process joining between GFRP and Al alloys were confirmed by the same conditions as experimental trials.

Examination of two bronze vessels supposedly from the Koryo dynasty revealed that they consist of bowls and stands that are fixed together using rivet joints made of Cu-Ag alloys. The bowls and stands were forged out of unleaded bronze alloys of approximately 22 weight % Sn before being quenched from the ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ region of the Cu-Sn phase diagram. This specific alloy and the thermo-mechanical treatment constitute two key elements of the unique technical tradition called Bangcha (방짜) that has long been established in Korea. The high Sn content ensures better casting and the thermal treatment causes the brittle ${\delta}$ phase to be avoided in forging as well as in services. The experiment on the laboratory Cu-Ag alloys of varying Ag contents suggested that the Cu-Ag system was the best choice of materials for the rivets at the time in view of their color, availability, ductility and low melting points.

Recently, Self Piercing Rivet(SPR) has been spotlighted in the automotive industry as a substitutive resort of spot welding and has also been watched by the designer as lightening a car body due to their superior assembly processes. Fatigue behavior of SPR joint needs to be investigated experimentally and numerically to predict its structural stiffness and fatigue life. Testing of lap-shear specimens with various material combinations is performed to obtain the joining strength and the fatigue life of SPR connections. The simulation of SPR lap-shear specimens is also conducted to obtain the structural stiffness of SPR connections under different material combinations. A Finite element model of the SPR lap-shear specimen is developed using a FEMFAT SPR pre-processor. The fatigue lift of SPR specimen is predicted using a FEMFAT 4.4e based on the liner finite element analysis.

This study were looks at the effect of the initial cut length or stress concentration level, on the wave forms produced by crack propagation. The signals were collected, then classified visually for each type of sample. They were put into three classes according to their shapes in the time and frequency domain. Each class should domain signals which could be correlated to a certain micro-failure mechanism that occurs during the fatigue process. Classes of these signals compared, with each sample. To see if there were any classes common to the three samples. The fatigue test attempted to determine if the initial cut length has any influence on the type of signals.

The parametric study of Steel-Al alloy SPR joint process is based on the FE simulation described by Kim et al. [10], which was validated by comparing experimental and simulation results for two kinds of steel-Al alloy combinations according to the lower sheet thickness. To analyze the SPR joint process, the friction coefficient, the lower sheet thickness, and the rivet length were selected as the main parameters. Based on FE simulations, the effect of main parameters was investigated by measuring the interlock and the bottom thickness at the cross-sectional shape of the SPR joint. The results of simulation facilitate the design of SPR joint process in various metal combinations.

본 연구에서는 탄소 복합재와 알루미늄 2024-T3 단일겹침 체결부에 대해, 체결방법을 접착, 리벳, 리벳/접착 하이브리드의 세 가지로 변화시키면서 체결방법에 따른 파손하중과 파손모드를 실험을 통해 연구하였다. 세 가지 체결방법에 대해 각각 겹침길이 3가지와 적층순서 2가지, 총 82개의 시편을 제작하였다. 접착제는 FM73m, 리벳은 NAS9308-4-03을 사용하였다. 접착 체결과 하이브리드 체결에서는 겹침길이가 커짐에 따라 파손하중이 증가하였고, 리벳 체결에서는 겹침길이에 따른 파손하중 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 단순 접착 및 리벳 체결부에서는 적층순서에 따른 일관된 경향을 발견하기 어려운 반면, 하이브리드 체결부에서는 인접층의 적층각 차이가 작은 적층판을 사용한 체결부의 파손하중이 높게 나타났다. 접착 체결과 하이브리드 체결의 주된 파손모드는 층간분리이고 리벳 체결은 국부적 베어링 파손을 동반한 리벳 파손으로 나타났다.

Blind rivet nuts (BRNs) are increasingly used in automotive industry because unlike conventional bolt fastening, BRN fastening requires access from one side only. Generally, fastening is conducted using automated units, but manual fastening may be resorted to in case of small quantities. Since the fastening direction is not exactly perpendicular to the sheet metal, the BRN axis is tilted with respect to the plate and may result in damage or incomplete fastening. As the tilt angle (clamping angle α) increases, undesired plate deformation occurs and the contact area of the plate with the BRN fastening area decreases, reducing the clamping effect. In this study, the reduction of the clamping effect with the α was investigated to ensure stable fastening force. M6 BRNs were used in the tests. The fastening force was measured as follows: the plate was cut in half through the center of the hole; the BRN was inserted into the hole and fastened; and the clamping angle a was measured (values, 0° ≤ α ≤ 9°). The force leading to the separation of the halves was measured using a universal testing machine (UTM). The maximum α range, in which the fastening force remains stable, was determined. Finite element (FE) analysis confirmed that the fastening force decreases approximately linearly with increasing α. Based on the experiment and FE analysis using various α, the fastening force was found to decrease with α. Further, the maximum tolerance for α that provides secure fastening without damage is suggested.

항공기 구조를 모사하여 일련의 리벳 구멍을 갖는 AA2024-T3 박판 구조를 대상으로 피로하중에 의한 단균열(short crack)의 발생시점과 성장거동을 음향방출(AE)을 위주로 한 측정으로 평가하였다. AE 위치표정에 의해 단균열의 좌표를 정확하게 결정하였으며, 이동식 현미경으로 균열의 크기를 측정하였다. 누적 AE 발생수 곡선은 단균열의 발생과 성장에 따라 일정한 간격을 두고 급격히 증가하는 양상을 보임으로써 여러 차례의 계단식 곡선을 형성하였다. AE 위치표정에서는 리벳 구멍을 중심으로 파괴역학에 근거한 관심영역(ROI)을 설정하였으며, 웨이블릿변환 잡음제거 방법을 사용하여 위치표정의 정확도를 향상할 수 있었다. 실제로 탐지된 신호의 대부분이 단 균열의 발생 및 성장과 관계없는 외부 잡음신호로 나타났으며, ROI 내에서 발생한 AE 발생원의 위치도 구조의 기하학적 특징이나 신호대잡음비의 영향에 의해 왜곡될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Self-piercing rivet(SPR)은 이종재료 접합을 위해 사용되는 결합용 기계요소로써, 대표적으로는 알루미늄 합금과 강판 등 용융점이 서로 다른 재료의 접합에 사용된다. SPR 접합은 일반 리벳접합과 달리 스스로 홀을 가공하며 삽입되기 때문에 사전의 홀 가공이 필요 없다.(1) 상부판재를 천공하고 하부판재와 함께 소성 변형되어 결합된다. 자동차의 차체 경량화를 위해서는 알루미늄 합금과 같은 경량소재가 사용되며, 부분적으로 스틸과 알루미늄 합금의 이종재료 접합이 요구된다. 그러나 알루미늄 합금과 강판은 용융점이 다르므로 기존의 차체 결합방법으로 이용되고 있는 저항 용접이 불가능하다. 이에 따라, 기계적 결합방법의 하나인 SPR 접합이 요구된다.(2) 따라서 본 연구에서는 강소성 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 리벳과 판재의 접합 성형성을 검토하고, 고장력 강판을 접합할 수 있는 새로운 형상의 SPR을 설계하였다. 또한 해석결과와 실험의 비교를 통하여 해석의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.
