Self-piercing riveting: Properties, processes and applicationsEdited by A Chrysanthou, University of Hertfordshire, UK and X Sun, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA
Woodhead Publishing Series in Welding and Other Joining Technologies No. 82
Self-piercing riveting is a high-speed mechanical fastening technique for the joining of sheet material components. The process is being taken up by many industries due to its speed, low energy requirements and the fact that it does not require a pre-drilled hole. The book covers topics such as the self-piercing riveting process, self-piercing riveting equipment, dynamic strength evaluation of self-piercing riveted joints, modelling of strength of self-piercing riveted joints, corrosion behaviour of self-piercing riveted joints, quality control and non-destructive testing.
