| Abstract: | Jig for testing thin sheet under compression load The experimental determination of the stress strain relation of thin sheet under uniaxial compression load is difficult, because the specimen are thin‐walled. A jig for testing thin sheet under uniaxial compression load and reversed tension‐compression load as well is presented in this article. It is shown, that in the relevant cross section an uniaxial stress state is dominating, which is not effected by the devices for lateral support. This jig gives the possibility to determine material properties, which are important for the manufacturing process and for the design of thin‐walled building components and verify valid assumptions. |
