Numerical simulation of riveting process using blind rivet

This paper is concerned with an analysis of the mechanical phenomena occurring in the process of blind riveting. Blind rivets are commonly used in the aviation industry and allow riveting with one‐sided access. To solve this problem, the finite element method was used. In results of the nonlinear c...

Blind rivets are commonly used in the aviation industry and allow riveting with one‐sided access. To solve this problem, the finite element method was used. In results of the nonlinear computation performed for a joint containing one rivet, the stress distribution in the separate phases of riveting were analyzed.
