In this study, the tensile tests were performed on samples extruded from aluminum beam to confirm the material properties of the various parts. Then, the beam was cut into lengths of 1160 mm and 680 mm to perform the bending test, and the beam loading point deformation was recorded. At the same time, the amount of beam deformation caused by three type beam fixing methods was compared. The Solidwork 3D CAD software used to build the beam model and perform finite element analysis. Among them, the analysis results of different boundary conditions were compared with the experimental results. The experimental load conditions were used to calculate the theoretical deformation formula amount through the beam theory deformation formula of material mechanics. It is to compare beam deformation data of experiments, finite element analysis, and theoretical formulas, and explore possible causes of differences.
