Put the sucker on a stand, and put some lateral and torsional forces on it.  |
The rigidity is easily modelled with finite element analysis. They show a screen shot of this in the article, but it would be best to know what the difference in rigidity is. I wouldn't be surprised if they did no real analysis.
