The objective of this project is to design and build a computer controlled testing system for planar biaxial stretching of soft connective tissues. The planar biaxial device designed in this paper has a four-axis control system as well as four components: a temperature-controlled testing chamber, a low friction sample attachment system, a stretching/force system, and a stress/strain measurement system. The device\u27s design is unique due to its low force capability (\u3c 0.5N), low cost (\u3c $15,000), and real-time computer control
