Electromagnetic　riveting　(EMR)　is　a　mechanical　joining　technique.　The　riveting　force　of　the　EMR　is　dependent　on　the　electromagnetic　repulsion　force　between　a　coil　and　a　driver　plate.　In　this　work,　a　numerical　analysis　model　of　the　total　electromagnetic　repulsion　force　of　the　EMR　is　derived　based　on　the　theories　of　circuit　and　electro-magnetics　and　dynamics.　The　model　takes　account　of　many　influential　parameters　that　affect　electromagnetic　repulsion　force,　not　only　discharging　parameters　such　as　voltage,　resistance,　inductance,　and　capacitance,　but　also　the　geometry　of　the　coil　and　the　driver　plate.　A　variety　of　calculated　results,　such　as　current,　total　elec-tromagnetic　repulsion　force,　impact-velocity　and　rivet　deformation,　can　be　handily　calculated.　The　EMR　ex-periments　are　conducted　to　verify　the　numerical　analysis　model.　The　compared　results　show　that　the　numerical　results　are　in　good　agreement　with　the　experimental　values.　Such　an　analytical　model　helps　to　control　the　total　electromagnetic　repulsion　force,　as　well　as　provides　scientific　guidance　for　parameter　optimization　and　structural　design.
