Abstract Important developments have been achieved for self-pierce riveting with the utilization of a double-sided tubular rivet that is able to join sheets similar and dissimilar materials different larger thicknesses, while remaining hidden in-between after joining process completed. Nevertheless, performance those joints can still be improved by an optimization parameters, mainly chamfered a...

Wide Bandgap devices (WBG) have led to an era of high speed and voltage operations that were not previously achievable with silicon devices. However, packaging these in the power module has been a challenge due higher switching rates which can cause several amperes displacement current flow through parasitic capacitance package thus impacting gate driver operation ability device. The severity t...
