• Force–displacement measurements and micrograph analyses are commonly used methods to validate numerical models of clinchingClinching processes. However, these methods often lead to resetting of elastic deformations and crack-closing after unloading. In contrast, the in situ computed tomography (CT)In-situ Computed tomography (CT) can provide three-dimensional images of the clinch point under loading conditions. In this paper, the potential of the in situ investigation of a clinchingClinching process as validation method is analyzed. For the in situ testing, a tailored test set-up featuring a beryllium cylinder for load-bearing and clinchingClinching tools made from ultra-high-strength titanium and Si3N4 are used. In the experiments, the clinchingClinching of two aluminum sheets is interrupted at specific process steps in order to perform the CT scans. It is shown that in situ CTIn-situ Computed tomography (CT) visualizes the inner geometry of the joint at high precision and that this method is suitable to validate numerical models.
