This thesis presents a study of the effect of controllable riveting parameters, mainly squeeze force, rivet length, rivet diameter tolerance, hole countersunk depth and hole diameter tolerance, on the quality of formed rivet. The quality of a formed rivet is determined by the geometry of its head formation and the extent to which the hole is filled. The study determines maximum allowable tolera...

This is the manual and user guide for the Rivet system for the validation and tuning of Monte Carlo event generators. As well as the core Rivet library, this manual describes the usage of the rivet program and the AGILe generator interface library. The depth and level of description is chosen for users of the system, starting with the basics of using validation code written by others, and then ...

The focus of this paper is Weld, a bytecode compiler that compiles a given Java class into a new Java class with added compiled methods. The Java bytecode to Java bytecode compilation that Weld performs is key to accelerating Rivet, a Java virtual machine written in Java that serves as an extensible tool platform. In accelerating Rivet, Weld employs several bytecode compilation techniques. Some...

Rivet is the first fully-featured, browser-agnostic remote debugger for web applications. Using Rivet, developers can inspect and modify the state of live web pages that are running inside unmodified end-user web browsers. This allows developers to explore real application bugs in the context of the actual machines on which those bugs occur. To make an application Rivet-aware, developers simply...

In the current work, process-related thermo-mechanical changes in the rivet microstructure, joint local and global mechanical properties, and their correlation with the rivet plastic deformation regime were investigated for Ti-6Al-4V (rivet) and glass-fiber-reinforced polyester (GF-P) friction-riveted joints of a single polymeric base plate. Joints displaying similar quasi-static mechanical per...

The impulsive riveting method is described as the punching and joining of sheet metal carried out using the impulsive energy of a weight accelerated by an air compressor. Parts are held together between the rivet and rivet-holder. A hole is made in the sheets by the high speed collision of rivet and a weight (approximately 100 m/s or more). Another method, punch riveting, joins the sheets by pr...

The Coflex device may provide stability to the surgical segment in extension but does not restore stability in other motion. Recently, a modified version called the Coflex rivet has been developed. The effects of Coflex and Coflex rivet implantation on the adjacent segments are still not clear; therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical differences between Coflex ...

MCgrid is a software package that provides access to the APPLgrid interpolation tool for Monte Carlo event generator codes, allowing for fast and flexible variations of scales, coupling parameters and PDFs in cutting edge leadingandnext-to-leading-orderQCDcalculations. This is achievedbyproviding additional tools to the Rivet analysis system for the construction of MCgrid enhanced Rivet analyse...
