This project investigates the biomechanics of chewing in primates by creating detailed computer models of the mandible. It aims to simulate stress and strain during biting to better understand how different foods affect jaw function and health, particularly in relation to dietary impacts on non-human primates.
Whilst the biomechanical determinants of a chewing cycle are essential components of the primate feeding system from an evolutionary and a clinical perspective, lack of experimental studies have resulted in the construction of oversimplified and biologically inconsistent computer simulation models.
Such models have been employed to answer hypotheses regarding feeding biomechanics and dietary ecology of extinct and extant species, leading to questionable results.
