Clinching in in-situ CT—A numerical study on suitable tool materials

In lightweight design, clinching is a cost efficient joining method, especially for different joined materials and thicknesses. The quality of such a joint is usually evaluated by ex-situ destructive testing methods. These methods, however, do not yield the detection of phenomena occurring during th...
