Self-piercing riveting is a high-speed mechanical fastening technique for point joining of sheet material components. This important book reviews the process which is being taken up by many industries due to its speed, low energy requirements and its major advantage over other
riveting and mechanical fastening techniques, in 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 of self-piercing riveted joints.
