Automotive: Self-Piercing Rivets

This SPR course provides a detailed presentation with notes and formulas relating to the practical design and strength analysis of Lap and T-Peel joints formed with SPRs and SPRs combined with adhesive bond. Strength Mode and Failure Mode modelling allows for product designs that maximise the structural reliability whilst minimising the weight and associated cost. The student needs no prior knowledge of SPRs as the course pragmatically introduces all the necessary aspects of SPR joint design and stress analysis.

The following content will be covered:

• SPR History & SPR Fastening Process
• Advantages & Applications of SPRs
• SPR Lap Joint Strengths, SPR Axial Load & Failure Modes
• SPR T-Peel Joint Strengths, SPR Axial Load & Failure Modes
• SPR for ACM2 Analysis
• Hybrid SPRs
• SPRs combined with Adhesive Lap Joint
• SPRs combined with Adhesive T-Peel Joint
• Workshop with sample calculations in MathCad & JSAMs

This course comes with a free ebook: The Design and Stress Analysis of Self-Piercing Rivet Joints.

Also,  a 4 week licence of my unique SPR design software JSAMs (Joint Strength Analysis Modules).
