text: This paper focuses on the failure behavior of clinched specimens with various
stiffnesses under shear tensile loading. The primary objective is to assess the
influence of the specimen stiffness with an arrangement of clinched joints. The
specimen stiffness depends on several variables. In addition to the material selection,
the specific choice of geometry and the design of the clinched joints must also
be taken into account. A number of experiments was conducted to investigate the
failure behavior of specimens with an arrangement of three clinched joints under
shear tensile loading. These configurations were subjected to shear tensile tests,
with force displacement curves recorded for each specimen to provide a detailed
characterization of their structural response. The stiffness is modified by altering
the specimen width, which has marginal impact on the maximum force. The experimental
findings indicate that reducing the specimen stiffness results in a shift in the
type of stress, with the failure behavior becoming increasingly influenced by
bending stress. These results offer important insights for the design of clinched
joint assemblies, indicating that it is feasible to achieve the desired properties
by changing the specimen stiffness.

text: The combination of the mechanical properties of a clinched joint and of the
material surrounding the joint determine the resulting properties of the component
and joint. The cause and effect relationships between the joint and the joint
environment offers the possibility of a specific modification through an adaptation
in the design process. In order to identify these cause and effect relationships
and resulting interactions experimentally, numerous of experiments are required.
In this publication, a concept for the automated manufacturing of head tensile
test and shear tensile test specimens – from cutting to clinching – by using a
punch laser machine is presented. Based on a full-factorial experimental design,
the parameters change of the properties of the joint environment by beading and
change of the punch displacement are addressed. The influence on the properties
of the clinched specimen is evaluated based on the variables Stiffness, force
at the beginning of yielding and maximum force at head tensile loading and shear
tensile loading. In addition, the geometric quality parameters of neck thickness,
interlock and bottom thickness are evaluated. The relationships can be used to
apply uniform loads to joints in joined structures to counteract oversizing.

text: A model to calculate the locally resolved tangential contact forces of the
wheel rail contact with respect to contact kinematics, material and surface properties
as well as temperature is introduced. The elasticity of wheel and rail is modeled
as an elastic layer consisting of point contact elements connected by springs
to each other and to the wheel. Each element has two degrees of freedom in tangential
directions. The resulting total stiffness matrix is reduced to calculate only
the position of the elements in contact. Friction forces as well as contact stiffnesses
are incorporated by a nonlinear force-displacement characteristic, which originates
from a detailed contact model. The contact elements are transported through the
contact zone in discrete time steps. After each time step an equilibrium is calculated.
For all elements, their temperature and its influence on local friction are regarded
by calculating friction power and temperature each time step.
