  text: <jats:p>Subject of this paper is the investigation of the influence of local
    joint kinematics on the load-bearing and failure behavior of self- piercing riveted
    (SPR) joints. It can be shown that the local joint kinematics of SPR joints correlate
    with the failure mechanism of the joint. The kinematics are highly influenced
    by the material properties of the joining partners. Detailed experimental results
    from tensile tests on a representative SPR joint are presented, with local joint
    kinematics quantified using multiple complementary measurement methods (optical
    measurement, micrographs, in situ computer tomography). Furthermore, results of
    component tests are shown where the kinematics of the joints have been measured
    in the same manner. The experimental results are later used to calibrate simulation
    models for crash application which are used to simulate the specimen and component
    tests. The results of the investigation show that the local joint kinematic influences
    the failure behavior of the joint. Simulations of the experimental tests have
    shown good results, and the investigated models are able to predict the actual
    joint behavior.</jats:p>
