Abstract
A novel probe design is presented that increases a probe tolerance to stress fractures. The probe includes a base, a torsion element connected to the base, and a second element connected to the torsion element through a union angle. The union angle includes an interface between the torsion element and the second element, and the edge of the interface is shaped to diffuse stress. What is further-disclosed are three features that increase stress tolerance. These features include a various union angle interface edge shapes, pivot cutouts and buffers.
