Figure 2


Fig. 2. Illustration of variables extracted from the strain data. Plot of {epsilon}1 magnitude recorded from lateral aspect of the mandibular corpus of owl monkey 1 in experiment 9 (data from C.F.R. and W.L.H., recorded at Duke University). Three chews ipsilateral to the strain gage are shown. The strain profile between power strokes does not return to zero because of strain in the mandible during opening. The following data were extracted from each power stroke: time (open circles) and magnitude (black circles) of peak strain, and time at which 5% of peak strain was reached in loading (grey circles). The duration of loading was calculated as the time from 5% of peak to strain to peak strain; the loading rate was calculated as peak strain magnitude divided by duration of loading. Cycle time for each cycle was estimated as the duration of time from the preceding peak to the following peak, divided by 2. In the case of the middle cycle in this figure, cycle time=(T3–T1/2)
