[0002] Tensile strength is the maximum capacity of the material to resist tensile failure, and is one of the important mechanical properties of the material. The current tensile strength test methods mainly include axial tensile method, bending method and Brazilian splitting method. The axial tensile method has high accuracy and is a direct measurement method, but it requires a large size test piece and complex preparation, and is generally used for tensile test of plastic materials, and is not suitable for brittle small-size metal ring. The bending method applies bending failure load to the test piece by three-point bending or four-point bending, and the tensile strength of the material is obtained by analyzing the failure load of the test piece. The test piece is generally a round bar or a cuboid structure. The Brazilian splitting method applies radial pressure to make the test piece produce tensile stress along the loading surface, and the tensile strength of the material is obtained by analyzing the failure load. The test piece is generally a cylinder, and the eccentricity of the applied load has a great influence on the test results, and even incorrect test results may be obtained.

[0003] The existing mechanical property test method cannot meet the tensile strength test requirements of small-size test pieces. Some brittle material test pieces, such as structural parts of metal hydride, are difficult to process into standard size test pieces due to special material structure and complex processing technology. On the existing test fixture, it is very difficult to assemble small-size test pieces, and it is difficult to ensure good centering, which has a great influence on the test results.
