Lightweight design in the custom fastener manufacturing shop can be accomplished with the following:
Material Optimization
To minimize weight while maximizing strength, high-strength, low-density materials like aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, or composite materials are often chosen.
Structural Optimization
This is achieved with topological optimization and finite element analysis for removing excess material and the design of a more efficient rivet structure. (More so when considering overall weight, allowing for strength where required.)
Process Improvement
Advanced manufacturing techniques such as cold heading and precision stamping ensure that rivets can be made lighter and thinner without sacrificing performance.
Shared libraries and other Connection Design Optimizer optimizations
Minimizing mating design by using rivets or connectors to reduce the number of connection points or the size (smaller rivets) also can reduce total weight.
Simulation and Testing
Lightweight rivets are tested through simulation and real-life tests for strength and durability as well as performance before their targeted requirement to meet safety standards for general and aviation application.
To conclude, knowledgeable custom fastener manufacturers can obtain light design and meet requirements of modern industry for reduction of weight by evolutionary optimization of the material, structure, process and connection design.
