Figure 5

Dominant principal strains over 12 separate unilateral bites (2 incisor and 10 molar bites). The plots show which principal strain produced the largest strain in each element: blue represents the regions of the cranium where tensile strains are greater than compressive strains (i.e. tensile strains are dominant); red represents regions where compressive strains are greater than tensile strains (i.e. compressive strains are dominant). The insert shows the rostrum. The teeth and sutures are shown in dark grey.
