Abstract:

Electromagnetic riveting is a new joining method. This paper introduces the characteristics of electromagnetic riveting (EMR) technology and its development, and analyzes the function of EMR in large aircraft research and manufacturing. Researches on interferencefit riveting, riveting of composites structure and driving interferencefit fastener have been done according to the technological needs of large aircraft manufacturing. The results of experimental reseach indicate that the interference produced by EMR is more uniform than that by ordinary riveting technique, and can improve the fatigue life of structure,and can drive interference-fit fastener with large interference,and can reduce the damnification produced by installing.The paper analyzes what we should do in EMR for developing large aircrafts in China.
