Abstract
Self-piercing riveting (SPR) has been widely used over recent years in the automotive industry to join lightweight aluminium structures. However, the extensive experimental trials needed to assess the feasible rivet/die combinations within a body in white assembly facility present a serious constraint for the application of this process on a large manufacturing scale. Therefore, having a virtual tool able to assess or predict the feasibility of...
