Comparison of Von Mises stress distribution for scaled models.
Models of (a–c) Plateosaurus engelhardti, (d–f) Stegosaurus stenops and (g–i) Erlikosaurus andrewsi subjected to different bite scenarios. From left to right, bilateral bite at the tip of the skull/dentary, the first maxillary tooth/occluding tooth on dentary, last occluding maxillary/dentary tooth (indicated by red arrows). All models scaled to same surface area.
