Resolution of strain measurement design is red circle on the plot above R = 0.048 mm
Young modulus of E ~ 2 * 10^6 Pa was obtained with our rubber band Stress vs Strain plot.
Conclusion of our experiment:
Applicable to simple Bio-mechanical analysis testings (i.e. tensile testing, creep test)
Similar estimation of young's modulus for stress vs strain testing according to Biophysics.org
Accurate resolution of R ~ 0.05 mm , with Ravg ~ 0.1 mm and Rstd ~ 0.027 mm.
Low cost alternative (less than 100$) compared already established expensive methods in market.
User friendly and applicable and accessible to to most researchers and Students.
Future Directions
Future Directions
Optimize the apparatus and the software to work for bilateral loading and analysis
Improve the method of attachment between the specimen and suture to minimize tear around high-stress areas that result on the points of attachment.
Change the base of the camera to reduce degrees of freedom and subsequently facilitate the positioning of the camera above the specimen
Provide real-time input and output
