"Large Deformable Elastic Plates" are components whose elastic limit can be expanded by processing a single metal plate into a special shape. In a previous study, compression and tension experiments were conducted on the components using steel materials. The purpose of this study is to suggest using not only steel but also aluminum alloy for the components and to conduct tensile experimental tests and FEM analyses. As a result, both the elastic limit load and elastic limit deformation values were improved by using aluminum alloy. However, large bending deformation occurred to some aluminum alloy test specimens.
