Binary torsional stiffness compliant mechanism measurement

Time-lapse video of a measurement of a fully compliant mechanism with binary torsional stiffness. More details can be found in the research paper that is found at

EDIT: The research paper is now open access and can be freely downloaded by anyone at the doi link above.
