Quasi-static test set-up. Figure 7A shows the quasi-static elongation test set-up. The sample is attached to two clamps, one fixed (on the right) and the other one free to move (on the left). The slide has an 11 cm maximum range. The tested sample was subjected to a total deformation of 5 m m through 11 equivalent steps, both in elongation and shortening. Figure 7B shows the experimental setup for flexion characterization. The sensor is attached to a flexible substrate and is coupled to a commercial electrogoniometer. One extremity of the structure was clamped in a bench vice and the other one remained free to pivot around.
