Tensile Testing Fixtures

Hello,

When using tensile testers in the past I have seen fixtures that move to allow the point where force is applied to remain directly underneath the crosshead as the object bends. They give the object/fixture one or more degrees of freedom.

Is there a specific name for these types of fixtures? I am wondering where I could have one designed and fabricated as well as where I could learn more about designing them myself.

Thanks,

David
