Experimental characterization and numerical simulation of riveted lap-shear joints using Rivet Element

Abstract In aeronautical and automotive industries the use of rivets for applications requiring several joining points is now very common. In spite of a very simple shape, a riveted junction has many contact surfaces and stress concentrations that make the local stiffness very difficult to be calcul...
