项目摘要

The requested funding for the proposed NSERC Engage project will allow the principal investigator, theindustrial partner (Meridian Lightweight Technologies), and Highly Qualified Personnel to investigate anddevelop engineering models of the self-piercing riveting (SPR) system to join Magnesium components to otherMagnesium components or dissimilar metals. This collaborative investigation is necessary due to challengesand lack of success which the industrial partner has had in achieving SPR for Magnesium components.Investigations will be completed, in a collaborative effort between the academic research team and theindustrial partner, to experimentally assess the mechanical material behaviour of base SPR materials.Additionally, in a similar approach, efforts will be undertaken to investigate deformation and mechanicalbehaviour of the SPR components during the riveting process.Information from the experimental portion of this project will be used to develop and validate finite elementmodels of the SPR system. This model will then be further used by the academic research team to exploredesign modifications to improve and enhance the joining of components, specifically components involvingMagnesium alloys, using the SPR method.It is anticipated that the proposed NSERC Engage project will result in the development of information whichwill allow the industrial partner to implement a SPR into challenging lightweight materials, potentiallyresulting in Meridian Lightweight Technologies becoming a world leader in joining of lightweight materials fornumerous practical applications.

拟议的 NSERC Engage 项目所需的资金将允许主要研究者、工业合作伙伴（Meridian Lightweight Technologies）和高素质人员调查和开发自冲铆接（SPR）系统的工程模型，以将镁部件连接到其他镁部件或异种金属。由于工业合作伙伴在实现镁部件的 SPR 方面面临挑战且缺乏成功，因此这项合作研究是必要的。研究将在学术研究团队和工业合作伙伴的共同努力下完成，以通过实验评估镁部件的机械材料行为。此外，将以类似的方法，研究 SPR 部件在铆接过程中的变形和机械行为。该项目实验部分的信息将用于开发和验证 SPR 系统的有限元模型。然后，学术研究团队将进一步使用该模型来探索设计修改，以使用 SPR 方法改进和增强组件的连接，特别是涉及镁合金的组件。预计拟议的 NSERC Engage 项目将导致信息的开发这将使工业合作伙伴能够对具有挑战性的轻质材料实施 SPR，从而有可能使 Meridian Lightweight Technologies 成为众多实际应用中轻质材料连接领域的世界领先者。
