The vibrating reed method is a recognized technique for the mechanical analysis of materials and offers a number of advantages over other types of test. However, little detailed evaluation of the method has been reported, particularly those aspects which affect accuracy and reproducibility. reed displacement. A number of clamp designs were assessed and a range of mater including some of biomedical interest, was examined. It was found that significant experimental inaccuracies were present and that these led to errors of approximately 15
