The device was calibrated and tested. The results obtained show that the device is adequate for measuring compressive force, ranging from 0-100kN in a situation where a percentage error of up to 0.4% is permissible. %K Design %K Construction %K Compressive Force %K Biomaterials %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.ijbe.20120201.01.html
