The ultimate tensile strength of coach peel self-piercing riveting joints

  • Published:
Strength of Materials Aims and scope

Due to the increased use of lightweight sheet materials, there has been a significant increase in the use of self-pierce riveting. This paper deals with the ultimate tensile strength of coach peel self-pierce riveted joints. The online window technique was introduced in the coach peel self-pierce riveting processes for evaluating the quality of joints. Signals obtained from sensors were amplified and transferred to the data acquisition system which measures, processes and saves the signals. Monotonic tensile tests were carried out to measure the ultimate tensile strengths for coach peel self-pierce riveted joints with different material combinations. Deformation and failure of the coach peel self-pierce riveted joints under monotonic tensile loading were studied. The normal hypothesis tests were performed to examine the rationality of the test data.
