Failure of aluminium self-piercing rivets: An experimental and numerical study

► We investigated the fracture mechanism of AA7278-T6 aluminium self-piercing rivets. ► Fracture of AA 7278-T6 rivets during the riveting process is a complex phenomenon. ► Microstructure of AA7278-T6 has significant influence on the fracture mechanism. ► Increasing friction will change the deformat...
