ABSTRACT P.I. Andrew Hill/ Xingbin Chen SBR-9316717 This project involves an application of a high-level engineering method, Finite Element Method, to an investigation of the biomechanical and material properties of the chewing system in humans and apes. This system is extremely complex, yet this non-destructive technique has all the potential to shed light on the mechanical adaptations of the mandible, and also the factors that may have shaped its morphological changes during the course of our recent evolution. The graduate student is already very well trained in both engineering and anthropology, and will become a leading researcher in this area as a result of this support. The work may well have clinical implications in dentistry at some future date. *** P\anthro\jfried\9316717.abs ! ! !

本项目涉及一种高级工程方法--有限元方法，用于研究人类和类人猿咀嚼系统的生物力学和材料特性。这个系统非常复杂，但这种非破坏性的技术完全有可能揭示下颌骨的机械适应，以及在我们最近的进化过程中可能塑造其形态变化的因素。这位研究生已经在工程学和人类学方面接受了很好的培训，并将因此而成为该领域的领先研究人员。这项工作很可能在未来某一天对牙科临床产生影响。*P\anthro\jfred\9316717.abs！！！D 3 3(Times New Roman符号&amp；Arial“h Z e$y%=Jonathan Friedlaender Jonathan Friedlaender
