Potential of shear-clinching technology for joining of three sheets
The load-specific design of car bodies often requires the joining of more than two sheets. However, due to the additional interfaces and the mutual influence of the joining partners, joining of multi-layer sheets is challenging.

A Review on the Modeling of the Clinching Process Chain—Part II: Joining Process
Clinching is often used to join sheet-like parts, which can be made of different materials, to produce complex lightweight structures. The holistic prediction of the joinability, the properties and the life cycle of a joint requires the modeling and ...

Modeling strategy for clinched joints in assemblies
Clinching is a mechanical joining technique which involves severe local plastic deformation of two or more metal sheet parts resulting in a permanent mechanical interlock. Today, it is a reliable joining technique used in automotive, HVAC and general steel constructions whilst still gaining interest.

Mechanical Behaviour of Clinched Joints in Configurations [PDF]
Clinch joining or clinching is a mechanical joining technique for sheet material. In this paper, the mechanical behaviour of multiple clinched joints under mixed-mode loads (peel, shear and pull-out) is investigated using a modified Arcan test. The experimental results are compared with a proposed equivalent model for clinched joints to validate if the

Investigation of aluminium clinched joints by FEA
Abstract The aim of the present paper is to compare the results of clinch joining simulations of two finite element software. The comparison is taken in between the resultant force-displacement curves, and in between the most important geometrical parameters of the joints, as the undercut (C) and neck thickness (tN).

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 ...

Vibration Measurements of Clinched Joints
AbstractAs a result of the trend towards lightweight construction in sustainable manufacturing, there has been a significant increase in the use of clinched joints in engineering structures and components. Mechanical structures assembled by clinching are expected to possess a high damping capacity.
