Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Determination of dynamic parameters of double-layered brick arches

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2015
Masonry arches assume a very important role in construction industry, and we find them in many historical structures all over the world. Dynamic parameters, frequency, and damping of masonry arches are defined in this paper using the Experimental Modal ...

Model updating using uncertain experimental modal data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The propagation of parameter uncertainty in structural dynamics has become a feasible method to determine the probabilistic description of the vibration response of industrial scale nite element models.

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Understanding the spacing of placodes in the eye: A comparative study across age and species

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The conjunctival placodes of the avian eye form in an intriguing and conserved sequence in a circular annulus around the cornea. These 13–16 placodes develop into papillae that are essential for inducing underlying intramembranous flat bones, known as scleral ossicles, which form an important part of the ocular skeleton.

Evaluation of measurement uncertainty of drop hammer impact test for composite materials

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Future aircraft structures are usually dominated by composites, and one of the key defects and forms of damage to composite structures is the impact damage caused by low-energy (especially low-speed) foreign matter. This kind of low-energy impact test is usually completed by the drop hammer testing machine, so accurately ...

Integrating whole‐bone and regional analyses to understand human scapular growth

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates ontogenetic changes in human scapular morphology using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics with whole‐bone and region‐specific analyses. The aim is to evaluate whether the scapula follows a regular developmental pattern and whether its functionally distinct components, the scapular spine (SS) and glenoid fossa ...

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...
