2D FEA, it is simply not ok. Poster #143.
Presented by Callum F. Ross (today) Saturday, March 25. It’s up now as part of the Bones, Cartilage & Teeth session (which you probably know if you’re here)! Come back to chat around 4:30pm!
Here are the supplemental animations we promised!
Deformation and von Mises strain in our complete 3D FEA model (Pan troglodytes).
Deformation and von Mises strain in our 2D model when the symphysis is unconstrained.
Deformation and von Mises strain in our 3D hemi-mandible model when the symphysis is unconstrained.
Deformation and von Mises strain in our 2D model when we apply symmetry constraints at the symphysis.
