Description

a low-cost custom biaxial system capable of accurately characterizing the mechanical behavior of soft tissues. The biaxial system was constructed using 3D printing technology and non-captive linear actuators for precise displacement control. A real-time marker tracking system was imple-mented to estimate displacements without the need for costly hardware. The system's performance was evaluated through tests on a calibration spring and frozen porcine aorta samples. The linear actuators demonstrated excellent response to user position input after motor tuning, showing no discrepancies between commands and actual positions
