Enhancing the performance of double-flush riveted joints through hybridization with adhesive bonding

This paper explores the potential to enhance the mechanical performance of joints created through a new joining-by-forming technique called hybrid double-flush riveting. To achieve this, adhesive bonding is used to form hybrid lap joints with superior mechanical properties. The study focuses on high...

description This paper explores the potential to enhance the mechanical performance of joints created through a new joining-by-forming technique called hybrid double-flush riveting. To achieve this, adhesive bonding is used to form hybrid lap joints with superior mechanical properties. The study focuses on high-strength steel sheets and starts by identifying the appropriate surface conditions necessary for producing strong adhesive-bonded joints. A similar strategy is applied to construct double-flush riveted joints, focusing on the geometric variables involved in the process. Hybrid joints are then created by integrating adhesive bonding with double-flush riveting, with the second carried out before or after curing is completed. The experimental development is supported by finite element analysis conducted with an in-house computer program.The mechanical performance of the hybrid joints is compared to that of purely adhesive-bonded and conventionally double-flush riveted joints through shear and peel destructive testing. Results demonstrate that hybrid joints ultimately provide greater joint strength for both solicitations. This allows showcasing the hybridization of double-flush riveting with adhesive bonding as an effective solution for applications where joint strength and continuity are essential.
