Study on Effect of Riveting Methods on Damage Behavior of CFRP Riveted Joints
Riveting is an important connection method for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites
however
traditional riveting is highly susceptible to causing excessive interference and severe damage to CFRP joints
leading to potential quality hazards. This study experimentally investigated the damage behavior of CFRP specimens subjected to various riveting methods
including straight riveting
washer riveting
chuck bushing riveting
and washer-chuck bushing riveting. The results indicate that the average interference of straight riveted joints is the highest
substantially greater than 2%
with joints exhibiting the most severe cross-sectional damage. In contrast
joints riveted with washers show an average interference of 0.757% with virtually no damage to the joints’ cross-section. Joints riveted with chuck bushings are of an average interference of 0.956%
but the tilt of rivet head causes compressive deformation and other damages around the hole. The combination of washer and chuck bushing riveting results in an average interference of –0.915%
without forming effective interference and observing no tangible damage on the joints’ cross-section.
