Comparison of principal strains in the parietal and frontal bones under three conditions (data from Tables 2, 3). Tensile strain is indicated by divergent and compressive strain by convergent arrowheads. The horizontal scale bar indicates 40 με. A: Late in a left side masticatory cycle. B: Stimulation of the left masseter (star). C: Stimulation of the right temporalis (star). The pattern of strain is similar in all cases, but the magnitudes suggest that A is a combination of B and C.
