Multiscale Analogue Modelling of Clinching Process to Investigate Thickness Tolerance and Tool Misalignment

Multiscale Analogue Modelling of Clinching Process to Investigate Thickness Tolerance and Tool Misalignment

NEED—The effect of dimensional variability of sheet thickness (tolerance) and tool misalignment is poorly understood for the clinching process. Finite element analysis (FEA) is valuable but requires a lot of and is difficult to verify in this situation due to the asymmetrical geometry and nonlinear...
