A FEM-based virtual test-rig for hybrid metal-composites clinching joints

authored by: Aamir Dean, Raimund Rolfes, Nenad Grbic, Sven Hübner, Bernd-Arno Behrens
Abstract: A 3D FEM-based virtual test-rig tool for the hybrid metal-composites clinching technology is developed and built in the commercial finite element software Abaqus. The proposed tool consists of two modules: a module to simulate the hybrid clinching process and another to predict the strength of the clinched joints. At first, experimental results concerning the hybrid metal-composites (EN AW-5754-PA6GF30) clinching are presented. Then, the developed virtual tool is described in detail outlining the constitutive models implemented for the hybrid pairing sheets as well as illustrating the proposed FE numerical procedures. Later, the developed tool is applied to the hybrid pairing EN AW-5754-PA6GF30. In comparison to the conducted experiments, the simulation results obtained show the applicability and accuracy of the developed virtual testing tool.
