Influence of Tool Shape on Hole Clinching for Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic and SPRC440

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a lightweight material that can potentially replace structural steel components in automobiles. The hole-clinching process is a mechanical clinching technique for joining brittle or low-ductility materials, such as CFRP, with ductile materials. In this study...
