We investigate the mechanical properties of BiFeO<sub>3sub> (BFO) thin films grown on SrTiO<sub>3sub> (001) substrates that were manually bent using a specially designed uniaxial bending stage. X-ray measurements under variable uniaxial strain show that excessive strains up to &sim;2% could be applied along the [100] direction with little cross talk between [100] and [010] directions. X-ray reciprocal space maps were acquired to investigate the evolution of -a and c-axis lattice constants under variable strain and Poisson's ratio of BFO thin films v<sub>zxsub> was determined to be 0.30&thinsp;&plusmn;&thinsp;0.01.
