As an advanced interference-fit joining technology, electromagnetic riveting (EMR) has wide engineering application prospects in manufacturing and assembly fields. In this paper, a theoretical model on interference fit for EMR process is derived based on the stress wave theory and thick wall cylinder theory. EMR experiments are conducted to verify the analytical model. The compared results show that the analytical solutions agree well with experimental values. The interference-fit model synthetically considers many process parameters factors, not only the material properties and size of rivet,...
