On the self-piercing riveting of aluminium blanks and carbon fibre composite panels

Analysis of the mechanical performance of hybrid (SPR/bonded) single-lap joints between CFRP panels and aluminum blanks

“…The pressure riveting that ensures the best mechanical behavior of the joint, given in [33,34], equal to 300 bar, was used for all tests.…”

Fatigue strength evaluation of self-piercing riveted Al-5052 joints under different specimen configurations

“…The fatigue strength of the SPR joints has been investigated by a number of authors for a number of materials [1][2][3][4][5][6]. For example, Mori et al [2] examined the static and fatigue strengths of spot-welded and self-piercing rivet joints in aluminum alloy sheets under tensile-shear and cross-tension configurations.…”

“…They reported that these levels are influenced by the rivet number and rivet distribution pattern. Franco et al [5] investigated the possibility of joining aluminum alloys and carbon fiber composites using SPR. They reported large values of the fatigue resistance of SPR joints, even for load amplitudes close to the maximum static resistance of the joint and a fairly large range of fatigue strengths.…”

Effects of process parameters on friction self-piercing riveting of dissimilar materials

“…Li et al (2013) did SPR for joining aluminum alloy 6061 to magnesium alloy AZ31B. Di Franco et al (2010) demonstrated that SPR can effectively join carbon fiber composite to aluminum alloys blanks from both experimental and numerical analysis. Mandel and Krüger (2012) further studied the corrosion issues for SPR joints between carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and aluminum alloys.…”
