Journal Article
Panagiotopoulou, O., Iriarte-Diaz, J., Mehari Abraha, H., Taylor, A. B., Wilshin, S., Dechow, P. C., & Ross, C. F. (2020). Biomechanics of the mandible of Macaca mulatta during the power stroke of mastication: Loading, deformation, and strain regimes and the impact of food type. Journal of Human Evolution, 147, 102865. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2020.102865

Mandible morphology has yet to yield definitive information on primate diet, probably because of poor understanding of mandibular loading and strain regimes, and overreliance on simple beam models of mandibular mechanics. We used a finite element mod...
