Temporomandibular joint plays a major role in everyday life allowing speaking and eating. This work aims to describe a method that combine several mechanical tests highlighting soft tissue properties, both local and global, through local compression and traction. It provides ''first order'' evaluation of mechanical properties and allow setting optimisation loop with more complex models.
