Abstract

The biomechanics-, engineering- and anatomy-oriented authors studied the craniofacial structures emphasizing their perfect adaptation to stresses developing during mastication or related to head statics and motions. For a better understanding of the biomechanics of the basis of the skull and face, attention is consistently drawn to solutions used in state-of-the-art engineering, such as aeronautics, in consideration that such solutions as are chosen by engineers are often--consciously or not--copied from nature.
