To verify the rationality of structural design, structural strength tests are a necessary assessment method. Among them, the compression test of composite material specimens is the main test in structural strength testing. For thin-walled composite material specimens, if the traditional test fixtures are still used to clamp the two ends of the specimens before compression testing, the thin-walled specimens may become unstable during the compression test, making it impossible to carry out the compression test and failing to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the compression test.

The two support frames in each set are respectively positioned in front of and behind one side edge of the specimen. The two clamping plates in each set are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two support frames in that set.

The anti-instability baffles are correspondingly fitted to the front and rear of the specimen, with both ends connected to the two sets of clamps, to prevent instability and deformation of the specimen. The compression loading structure is located directly above the two sets of clamps and is used to apply a compressive load to the specimen fixedly clamped between the two sets of clamps.
[0005] Preferably, the two support frames in each set of fixtures have the same structure and are arranged opposite each other, and the support frame is a right-angled triangular stable structure.
[0006] Further preferred, the two support frames in each set of clamps are connected by a first fastener.
