The Effect of the Setting Force on the Fatigue Resistance of a Blind Rivet Nut Set in CFRP KU Leuven
Weight reduction is often a key factor in modern mechanical design, therefore materials such as carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) are increasingly used and integrated within multimaterial structures using adhesive technologies, which require high effort and are difficult to disassemble. The capability of a blind rivet nut (BRN) to join different materials without these disadvantages has created a growing industrial interest in the ...
