“…The multi-disciplinary research into self-pierce riveting, enabling its introduction into the industry, has been global, involving companies including Audi, BMW, General Motors, Peugeot-Citroën and Jaguar Land Rover and research groups in Australia [16], China [17], France [18], Germany [19], Italy [20], Japan [21], Norway [22], Poland [23], Slovakia [24], UK and USA [25]. Resistance spot welding had traditionally been ignored as it was impossible to control in lightweight materials, and there was no guarantee that joints would be reliable.…”

This paper reviews the changing nature of research underpinning the revolution in the automotive sector. Legislation controlling vehicle emissions has brought urgency to research, so we are now noticing a more rapid development of new technologies than at any time in the past century. The lightweighting of structures, the refinement of advanced propulsion systems, the advent of new smart materials, and greater in-vehicle intelligence and connectivity with transport infrastructure all require a fundamental rethink of established technologies used for many decades-defining a range of new multi-disciplinary research challenges. While meeting escalating emission penalties, cars must also fulfil the human desire for speed, reliability, beauty, refinement and elegance, qualities that mark out the truly great automobile.

“…The strength of the clinching has been compared with other joining techniques, such as selfpierce riveting and spot welding by researchers (Cai et al, 2005, Lennon et al, 1999. Although the static strength of clinched joints is lower than that of other joints, but the fatigue strength of clinched joints is comparable to that of other joints, and the strength of the clinched joints is more consistent with a significantly lower variation across a range of samples.…”

“…Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a high speed mechanical fastening technique where a tubular rivet is pierced through the top sheet and partially through the bottom overlapping sheet which are held against a die of asymmetrical cavity [5]. SPR is widely used by several automotive manufacturers as an economical and effective technique to join aluminum vehicle bodies [6][7][8][9]. SPR joints of aluminum to aluminum [6,[10][11][12][13][14], magnesium to magnesium [15], and aluminum to steel [16][17][18] alloys have shown superior peel and fatigue strength compared to RSW joints.…”

Numerical simulation and experimental validation of self-piercing riveting (SPR) of 6xxx aluminium alloys for automotive applications F Hönsch, J Domitner, C Sommitsch et al. Abstract. In this study, the tensile and fatigue behaviour of self-piercing rivets (SPRs) in carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) to aluminium 6111 T82 alloys were evaluated. An average maximum lap-shear tensile load capacity of 3858 N was achieved, which is comparable to metal-to-metal SPR lap-shear joints. The CFRP-Al SPRs failed in lap-shear tension due to pull-out of the rivet head from the CFRP upper sheet. The CFRP-Al SPR lapshear specimens exhibited superior fatigue life compared to previously studied aluminium-toaluminium SPR lap-shear joints. The SPR lap-shear joints under fatigue loads failed predominantly due to kinked crack growth along the width of the bottom aluminium sheet. The fatigue cracks initiated in the plastically deformed region of the aluminium sheet close to the rivet shank in the rivet-sheet interlock region. Scatter in fatigue life and failure modes was observed in SPR lap-shear specimens tested close to maximum tensile load.
