Abstract
Point-shaped joints of complex assemblies and components are loaded mainly by shear, whereas the actual load in a joint depends on the surrounding sheet geometry and the number and layout of the joints. Within the scope of this paper, the interaction between a joint and its surrounding geometry is investigated on overlapped single clinched specimens. The geometry of the upper sheet near the joint is changed by thickening and by inserting corrugations and rectangular cavities. The investigations show that this causes different stress states in the joint.
