Abstract
This chapter discusses the dynamic SPR strength evaluation procedures and the measured dynamic strength data for various joint populations of self-piercing rivets (SPR) joining similar and dissimilar metals. A state-of-the-art review of the current practice for conducting dynamic tensile/ compressive strength tests in different strain rate regimes is presented, and the generic issues associated with dynamic strength testing are addressed. The joint strength testing procedures and fixture designs used in the current study are then described, and the typical load versus displacement curves under different loading configurations are presented. Detailed static and dynamic strength data and the associated energy absorption levels for all the samples in the joint populations are also included.
