Summary:

Riveting is a very common manufacturing process in assembly oflarge aerospace structures such as fuselage cross sections. Largedeformations involved in this process generate large displacementsof components. This problem is pronounced when dealing with largestructures such as fuselage panels. This fact may result inpenalties on the assembly line of an aircraft, and themanufacturing is usually forced to develop tools to make feasiblethe assembly of fuselage cross sections.This work presents a bibliographic review about this subject,and presents a methodology to capture induced strains on theriveting process of aerospace structures. An experimental test wasperformed on a row of rivets to study this behavior. After that,finite element simulation was performed and deformation resultswere obtained for a single rivet. This result was extrapolated fora row of rivets with the assumption of sequential riveting. Theexperimental result validates the simulation methodology. Finally,challenges for the development of a riveting sequence strategy toimprove the assembly process of large panels are presented
