A topic of this diploma thesis is analysis of a deformation response of the MTS Landmark 370.10 servo-hydraulic testing rig during tensile-compressive loading of material. Two measurement setups were performed, one with an extensometer on the test specimen and the other on the inserts. A geometric model . To compare with the experimental results, an analytical calculation of the specimen’s specific strain was performed. A geometric model of the test setup was created in SolidWorks and then imported into Abaqus to perform numerical simulations. A comparison of the experimental results with the analytical calculation and the numerical simulation showed good agreement for measurements taken on the test specimen, while measurements taken on the inserts also capture the response of the clamping region and the broader load chain of the system.
