Cranial sutures are an essential part of the growing skull, allowing bones to increase in size during growth, with their morphology widely believed to be dictated by the forces and displacements that they experience. The zygomaticotemporal suture in... Read More about Development and three-dimensional morphology of the zygomaticotemporal suture in primate skulls.

Cranial sutures work collectively to distribute strain throughout the reptile skull (2013)
Journal Article

The skull is composed of many bones that come together at sutures. These sutures are important sites of growth, and as growth ceases some become fused while others remain patent. Their mechanical behaviour and how they interact with changing form and... Read More about Cranial sutures work collectively to distribute strain throughout the reptile skull.

In situ study of the evolution of atomic strain of bulk metallic glass and its effects on shear band formation (2013)
Journal Article
