  text: Due to the increasing use of multi-material constructions and the resulting
    material incompatibilities, mechanical joining technologies are gaining in importance.
    The reasons for this are the variety of joining possibilities as well as high
    load-bearing capacities. However, the currently rigid tooling systems cannot react
    to changing boundary conditions, such as changed sheet thicknesses or strength.
    For this reason, a large number of specialised joining processes have been developed
    to expand the range of applications. Using a versatile self-piercing riveting
    process, multi-material structures are joined in this paper. In this process,
    a modified tool actuator technology is combined with multi-range capable auxiliary
    joining parts. The multi-range capability of the rivets is achieved by forming
    the rivet head onto the respective thickness of the joining part combination without
    creating a tooling set-up effort. The joints are investigated both experimentally
    on the basis of joint formation and load-bearing capacity tests as well as by
    means of numerical simulation. It turned out that all the joints examined could
    be manufactured according to the defined standards. The load-bearing capacities
    of the joints are comparable to those of conventionally joined joints. In some
    cases the joint fails prematurely, which is why lower energy absorptions are obtained.
    However, the maximum forces achieved are higher than those of conventional joints.
    Especially in the case of high-strength materials arranged on the die side, the
    interlock formation is low. In addition, the use of die-sided sheets requires
    a large deformation of the rivet head protrusion, which leads to an increase in
    stress and, as a result, to damage if the rivet head. However, a negative influence
    on the joint load-bearing capacity could be excluded.</jats:p>
