Comparing the distribution of strains with the distribution of bone tissue in a human mandible: a finite element study (2012)
Journal Article
Gröning, F., Fagan, M., & O'Higgins, P. (2013). Comparing the distribution of strains with the distribution of bone tissue in a human mandible: a finite element study. Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology, 296(1), 9-18. https://doi.org/10.1002/ar.22597

Comparative anatomy and experimental studies suggest that the mass and distribution of tissue within a bone is adapted to the strains the bone experiences during function. Finite element analysis is a powerful tool that can be used to investigate thi...

Functional evolution of the feeding system in rodents (2012)
Journal Article
Cox, P. G., Rayfield, E. J., Fagan, M. J., Herrel, A., Pataky, T. C., & Jeffery, N. (2012). Functional evolution of the feeding system in rodents. PLoS ONE, 7(4), e36299. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0036299

The masticatory musculature of rodents has evolved to enable both gnawing at the incisors and chewing at the molars. In particular, the masseter muscle is highly specialised, having extended anteriorly to originate from the rostrum. All living rodent...

Modeling the human mandible under masticatory loads: which input variables are important? (2012)
Journal Article
Gröning, F., Fagan, M., & O'higgins, P. (2012). Modeling the human mandible under masticatory loads: which input variables are important?. Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology, 295(5), 853-863. https://doi.org/10.1002/ar.22455

Finite element analyses (FEA) that have simulated masticatory loadings of the human mandible differ significantly with regard to their basic input variables such as material properties, constraints, and applied forces. With sensitivity analyses it is... Read More about Modeling the human mandible under masticatory loads: which input variables are important?.
