This paper aims to numerically analyze the stress of two aluminum structures for a single-column small-scale tensile test machine. Initially, aluminum structures were designed using Autodesk Fusion 360 software, and then the designs were simulated with static simulation analysis using Autodesk Fusion 360 software. This simulation assess the stress distribution, maximum deflection and safety factor of two different aluminum structure when loaded with 1 kN, 3 kN and 5 kN loads, as a simulated tensile load. The results show that both aluminum structure could withstand up to 5 kN load in elastic zone but one has significantly higher rigidity, which made it more suitable to be used as a tensile test machine frame. Overall, it can be concluded that the aluminum structure could be applied for a single-column small-scale tensile test machine.
