| Abstract Scope |
In multi-material design, materials with different properties are combined to adapt a structure to the application of force and thus reduce weight to achieve the climate targets. However, the increasing number of materials used and the number of resulting joints has led to the development of a various number of joining processes, which are strongly bound to their intended use and have therefore difficulties reacting to changed boundary conditions. Therefore, new, versatile joining technologies are required. The versatile self-piercing riveting (V-SPR) process represents one possible approach. Here, multi-range capable rivets are used which can be adapted to the thickness of the joint by a joining system with extended actuator technology. In this study, the joining process is analysed according to the material flow during joint formation and the influence of the process parameters on the joints characteristics as well as the load-bearing capacity. |
