Abstract
This paper analyzes the shearing strength analysis of single-lap joints made by self-pierce riveting with a solid rivet for various joining parameters.The sheet metal joining with various pressure force while joining with the universal rivet. The shearing tests were performed for such prepared overlap joint specimens.The capabilities of joining various material with the solid rivet with conventional tool movement solutions were presented. The strength tests were based on the uniaxial shearing test of folded joints and single-side tearing test of L-specimens. The shearing test specimens were made of various thickness arrangements from 1.0mm to 2.5mm and materials as steel DC01, H320LA, H400LA, aluminum alloys 5754, 5556, and stainless steel X2CrNi12, X5CrNi18-10, too.The experiments were complemented with the FEM simulation in order to track the effect of rivet type on residual stress level. The FEM simulation was also performed for different pressure edge width values in order to observe the lower sheet material plastifying.
