The bite of Allosaurus
Gregory M. Erickson
Abstract
A combination of analytical methods used in engineering and scanning techniques from medicine can be applied in some surprising areas of research — the biomechanics of dinosaur feeding, for instance.
Understanding the biomechanics of organs in the body requires a diversity of information1. You have to know the structure's material properties (its stiffness, for instance), its size and shape, and its mechanical relationships with other structures.
