Numerous experimental tests exist to identify the flow curves of sheet metals, each with certain characteristics regarding stress states and achievable strains. In this paper stress state analysis are presented for the mechanical joining techniques clinching as well as self-pierce riveting with semi-tubular rivet (SPR). Based on these findings flow curves for DC04 material are determined by selected experimental materials tests in order to compare the influence of the flow curve determination method on the accuracy of the process simulation models.enmechanical joiningmaterial characterizationnumerical simulation620670journal article
