Abstract :In this research, the importance of experimental studies and simulations is emphasized, and it is stated that these two methodologies complement each other and are used to understand and optimize material behavior. For this purpose, three-point bending test was applied to an aluminum sample, and the results were supported by ANSYS Software simulations. It is stated that the simulation results agree with the experimental data and are a powerful tool for understanding the material\'s behavior. Thus, a cross-validation mechanism is established by comparing experimental data with simulation results, and it is stated that this integrated approach allows for a wide range of investigation possibilities. It is also emphasized that experimental studies and simulations play an essential role in validating and solving complex theoretical models in materials science and engineering. It is presented both graphically and visually that basic material properties such as yield point, elastic region, and plastic deformation are similar according to the data obtained from experimental and simulation results.
