“…The results showed that the mechanical performance was similar at 1, 10 and 25 m/s, but the maximum load, energy absorption and displacement were higher at 100 m/s. Tang et al [149] developed a FEM model to simulate the crash of SPR aluminium structures. It considered the elastic and inelastic deformation and the separation behaviours and the model was developed based on the coupon test results in tension, shear and peel loading modes.…”

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a cold mechanical joining process used to join two or more sheets of materials by driving a rivet piercing through the top sheet or the top and middle sheets and subsequently lock into the bottom sheet under the guidance of a suitable die. SPR is currently the main joining method for aluminium and mixed-material lightweight automotive structures. SPR was originated half century ago, but it only had significant progress in the last 25 years due to the requirement of joining lightweight materials, such as aluminium alloy structures, aluminium-steel structures and other mixed-material structures, from the automotive industry. Compared with other conventional joining methods, SPR has many advantages including no pre-drilled holes required, no fume, no spark and low noise, no surface treatment required, ability to join multi-layer materials and mixed materials and ability to produce joints with high static and fatigue strengths. In this paper, research investigations that have been conducted on self-piercing riveting will be extensively reviewed. The current state and development of SPR process is reviewed and the influence of the key process parameters on joint quality is discussed. The mechanical properties of SPR joints, the corrosion behaviour of SPR joints, the distortion of SPR joints and the simulation of SPR process and joint performance are reviewed. Developing reliable simulation methods for SPR process and joint performance to reduce the need of physical testing has been identified as one of the main challenges.

“…The model for SPR was developed based on the existing model for spot welding with shell elements. The crash performance of SPR joints was studied by Tang et al [149] through simulation in RADIOSS commercial finite element code. The SPR joints were simulated as nonlinear spring elements.…”

“…This approach did not consider the residual stresses due to piercing. A FE method has been developed by Tang et al (2002) for modelling the characteristics of SPR in the aluminium parts and structures subjected to impact. It relies on a combination of baseline curves and the universal formulation that predicts the SPR performance by considering the effects of different parameters.…”

“…A modelling method of SPR has been developed by Tang et al [35] using test and statistical analysis of coupons in tension, shear and peel modes. It consists of establishing baseline strength characteristics in the six degrees of freedom, and then modifying the baseline properties with coefficients that influence the performance of the joint.…”

Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is a sheet material joining technique which is suitable for joining dissimilar materials, as well as coated and pre-painted materials. Published work relating to finite element analysis of SPR joints is reviewed in this paper, in terms of process, static strength, fatigue strength, vibration characteristics and assembly dimensional prediction of the SPR joints. A few important numerical issues are discussed, including material modelling, meshing procedure, failure criteria and friction between substrates and between rivet and substrate. It is concluded that the finite element analysis of SPR joints will help future applications of SPR by allowing system parameters to be selected to give as large a process window as possible for successful joint manufacture. This will allow many tests to be simulated that would currently take too long to perform or be prohibitively expensive in practice, such as modifications to rivet geometry, die geometry or material properties. The main goal of the paper is to review recent progress in finite element analysis of SPR joints and to provide a basis for further research.
