Numerical analysis of the robustness of clinching process considering the pre-forming of the parts

Clinching is a conventional cold forming process in which two or more sheets of materials can be joined without any auxiliary parts. To achieve the required geometrical characteristics of the joint, it is essential to use the desired joining tools. The motivation of this study is to investigate the...
