Bite mechanics of insects are interesting in diverse research fields such as evolution and bionics. As these animals are difficult to investigate experimentally due to their small size, modeling approaches can give useful insights into factors such as joint function and muscle activation patterns. This webcast will show the workflow from bite force measurements and micro CT scans to the model setup.
