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...
