Abstract
Riveting is a very common manufacturing process in assembly of
large aerospace structures such as fuselage cross sections. Large
deformations involved in this process generate large displacements
of components. This problem is pronounced when dealing with large
structures such as fuselage panels. This fact may result in
penalties on the assembly line of an aircraft, and the
manufacturing is usually forced to develop tools to make feasible
the assembly of fuselage cross sections.
This work presents a bibliographic review about this subject,
and presents a methodology to capture induced strains on the
riveting process of aerospace structures. An experimental test was
performed on a row of rivets to study this behavior. After that,
finite element simulation was performed and deformation results
were obtained for a single rivet. This result was extrapolated for
a row of rivets with the assumption of sequential riveting. The
experimental result validates the simulation methodology. Finally,
challenges for the development of a riveting sequence strategy to
improve the assembly process of large panels are presented.
