The Finite Element Analysis

Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is a sheet material joining technique which is suitable for joining dissimilar materials, as well as coated and pre-painted materials. Published work relating to finite element analysis of SPR joints is reviewed in this paper, in terms of process, static strength, fatigue strength, vibration characteristics and assembly dimensional prediction of the SPR joints. A few important numerical issues are discussed, including material modelling, meshing procedure, failure criteria and friction between substrates and between rivet and substrate. It is concluded that the finite element analysis of SPR joints will help future applications of SPR by allowing system parameters to be selected to give as large a process window as possible for successful joint manufacture. This will allow many tests to be simulated that would currently take too long to perform or be prohibitively expensive in practice, such as modifications to rivet geometry, die geometry or material properties. The main goal of the paper is to review recent progress in finite element analysis of SPR joints and to provide a basis for further research.

Air Bending

Air bending of wide-punch large radius of curvature, as a special bending mode, has been widely applied in the production of large diameter pipeline JCO forming. The JCO forming process is accomplished by several air bending processes. The quality and shape of pipe are greatly influenced by the air bending. During the present work, the bending is investigated into using the finite element (FE) method and orthogonal design of experiment. Experiments are carried out and the experimental result is very close to the result simulated by finite element analysis. Springback, forming force and residual stress are discussed. The aim of this research is to investigate the influencing degree of parameters, such as sheet material, sheet thickness, bending angle, lubrication and punch radius; in particular the effect of springback, forming force, residual stress on air bending parameters are also discussed.
