Self piercing rivets Couese

[Apsu]

Hi
Self piercing rivets (SPR) are well established as a cost effective and practical method either by manual application or robotically implemented eg, Jaguar, Audi and Bentley cars, Silos and water tanks etc. Does anyone know of a practical design method and analysis course that deals with Lap and T-Peel joints that are made with SPR Technology.

Lots of research has been done on this subject:
