Figure 4. The geometrical parameters of the extensible dies. A clinching machine produced by Express Company (Shenzhen, China) was used to perform the mechanical clinching process. The speed and displacement of the clinching equipment can be controlled easily. The exten- sible dies were produced by high strength steel. The geo- metrical parameters of the extensible dies are shown in Figure 4. The sliding sectors are used in the extensible dies to control the material flow uniformly. The sheets can be placed on the sliding sectors. The speed of the mechanical clinching was set to 0.5mm/s. When the bottom thickness of the joint was reduced to 1.3mm,

Figure 7. The specimens: (a) the specimens used in tension-shearing strength tests and (b) the specimens used in cross-tensile strength tests. The tension-shearing strength tests and cross-tensile strength tests were used to evaluate the strength of the joint after auxiliary process. The tension-shearing strength tests and cross-tensile strength tests were con- ducted on an Instron 5982 tensile testing machine. The speed of the strength test was set to 2mm/min. Five specimens of each joint type were used for ten- sion-shearing strength test and cross-tensile strength test, respectively. The strength tests were controlled to stop when the joints were fractured and separated. As shown in Figure 7(a), the specimens used in tension- shearing strength tests were cross-shaped type. As shown in Figure 7(b), the specimens used in cross-tensile strength tests were lap-shear type. Figure 6. The geometrical parameters of the bumped die.

Figure 5. The geometrical parameters of the rivet. In order to increase the strength of the clinched joint, an auxiliary process with a rivet was used to compress the protrusion of the joint. A hydraulic servo press with a maximum load of 160 kN was used in the aux- iliary process. The rivet was placed in the pit of the joint. Finite element simulation and orthogonal design were used to optimize the geometrical param- eters of the rivet in terms of cross-tension strength. The best combination of geometrical parameters of the reshaping rivet was gotten by simulating
