Abstract:

For the issue of continual speed increase of EMUs caused frequent Huck rivet rapture, we employ universal mechanical testing machine to perform rivet shear test for riveting components of Huck rivet with different loading rates to investigate the impact of loading rate on its shear mechanical property. Through the comparison of the shear test data and the loaddisplacement curve of Huck rivet of three different loading rates, we discover that average load value of elastic and plastic starting points and elastic scope of Huck rivet all decrease with the increase of loading rate, but its stiffness increases. Test results show that Huck rivet is not distorted and rivet hole is not apt to break when the HRC of Cr12MoV Cold Working Die steel is within the scope of 40~50. The relevant conclusion will provide significant reference for the design and improvement of Huck rivet of the EMUs.

Key words: Huck rivet, shear property, loading rate
