Abstract: Conventional fusion joining methods, such as resistance spot welding (RSW), have been demonstrated to be ineffective for magnesium alloys. However, selfpierce riveting (SPR) has recently been shown as an attractive joining ...

Abstract: The residual stress profile in dissimilar metal sheets joined by a self-piercing rivet is simulated and compared to experimental measurements. Simulation of joining aluminum alloy 6111-T4 and steel HSLA340 sheets by ...
