Craniodental biomechanics and dietary toughness in the genus CebusBarth W Wright
CASHP Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
J Hum Evol 48:473-92. 2005..However, adaptations for anterior dental use do not tightly constrain the diet of Cebus apella. This approach can be used to clarify the dietary adaptations of fossil taxa...
Finite element analysis in functional morphologyBrian G Richmond
Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology, Department of Anthropology, George Washington University, Washington, District of Columbia 20052, USA
Anat Rec A Discov Mol Cell Evol Biol 283:259-74. 2005..We conclude with a case study to illustrate how researchers deal with many of the factors and assumptions involved in finite element analysis...
The importance of fallback foods in primate ecology and evolutionPaul J Constantino
Department of Anthropology, Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 140:599-602. 2009....
Indentation as a technique to assess the mechanical properties of fallback foodsPeter W Lucas
Department of Anthropology, Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 140:643-52. 2009..This analysis predicts that blunt cusps and thick enamel will indeed help to sustain the integrity of teeth against contacts with these foods up to high loads...
A finite element analysis of masticatory stress hypothesesJanine Chalk
Hominid Paleobiology Doctoral Program, Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 145:1-10. 2011..Instead, we propose that FE models replace simple cranial models when interpreting bone strain data and formulating hypotheses about craniofacial biomechanics...
Mechanical properties of foods used in experimental studies of primate masticatory functionSusan H Williams
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Athens, Ohio 45701, USA
Am J Primatol 67:329-46. 2005..Moreover, they provide a framework for understanding how jaw-muscle activity varies with food mechanical properties in these studies...
