Assessing the Biomechanical Effect of Alveoli, Periodontal Ligaments, and Squamosal Sutures in Mammalian Crania

The research presented in this thesis focuses on understanding the biomechanical effects of various cranial features that are often ignored in finite element models (FEMs) because their size, position, and complex shapes make them difficult to model. Specifically, this work examines the effects of t...
