Figure 4

Mean strain distributions considering the effect of the frontal–parietal suture. E refers to Young's modulus. (a) Model with a fuse suture (Ebone=Esuture=10 GPa) and (b) model with an unfused suture (Ebone=10 GPa; Esuture=10 MPa). Note that the grey colour indicates strain larger than 0.0037. The main region of decreased strain is highlighted by a circle and the main regions of increased strain are highlighted by squares.
