Feeding behaviour and bone utilization by theropod dinosaurs (2009, background): “Indeed, biomechanical studies have shown both the ability of theropod skulls (Rayfield et al. 2001; Rayfield 2005) and teeth (Mazzetta et al. 2004) to withstand large bite forces.”
The evolution of Metriorhynchoidea (mesoeucrocodylia, thalattosuchia): an integrated approach using geometric morphometrics, analysis of disparity, and biomechanics (2010, methodology): “As shown by in vivo (e.g. Buckland-Wright, 1978; Jaslow, 1990; Jaslow & Biewner, 1995; Herring & Teng, 2000) and FEA studies (Rayfield, 2004, 2005a; Moazen et al., 2009), sutural contacts and the soft tissues therein can act as shock absorbers, dissipating potentially damaging tensile strain.”
How to build a dinosaur: Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation of locomotor biomechanics in extinct animals (2020, background): “…2012, 2014; Maidment et al. 2014c); and displayed substantial disparity in cranial and postcranial anatomy with attendant functional differences (Rayfield 2005; Hutchinson and Allen 2009; Maidment et al. 2014b; Button and Zanno 2020); one lineage evolved an additional mode of locomotion,…”
The origin and early radiation of dinosaurs (2010, background): “The skull was elongate, filled with an array of serrated and recurved teeth, and well constructed to withstand the high stresses of biting prey (Rayfield, 2005).”
Phylogeny of Allosauroidea (Dinosauria: Theropoda): Comparative analysis and resolution (2008, background): “2006), biomechanics (Rayfield et al. 2001; Rayfield 2005), and biogeography (PerezMoreno et al.”
Combining Geometric Morphometrics and Finite Element Analysis with Evolutionary Modeling: Towards a Synthesis (2016, methodology): “Two-dimensional FE models are usually built from outlines of photographs (e.g., Rayfield, 2005; Neenan et al., 2014; Serrano-Fochs et al., 2015), whereas 3D FE models are commonly assembled using X-ray CT (X-ray micro-computed tomography, synchotron radiation micro-computed tomography) or magnetic…”
