Material characterization Dogbone-shaped samples were 3D printed with the soft material that comprises bistable elements (Elastic 50 A, Formlabs), and uniaxial tensile tests were then performed according to ASTM D412-C specifications to measure the linear elastic and viscoelastic property, yield stress, and long-term toughness. We used a universal testing machine (Model 5942, Instron®, Illinois Tool Works …
