Summary:A new design for a biaxial tensile testing module or fixture was developed to characterize a sheet metal specimen with a level of anisotropy. The main advantage of this fixture is the capability to perform tests in standard testing machines, besides its low-cost and easy mounting of the test specimen in comparison with other fixtures. The design was developed according to different fixture from the literature. These were analyzed by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software in order to identify their advantages and disadvantages as well as their behavior under loading. To validate the results from the FEA, 3D printed models were carried out, and their kinetic functionality was observed. With the resulting data new design was proposed, this was analyzed using FEA and 3D printed in order to evaluate its functionality.
