These data are used to estimate the maximum potential bite force of T. rex, which is between about 183,000 and 235,000 N for a bilateral bite. The relationship between maximum prey body mass and predator body mass among the same living vertebrates is used to infer the likely maximum size...

rex-size, the bird's bite would then be 320 times stronger than that of its extinct cousin, the scientists reported. [Image Gallery: The Life of T. Rex] These new findings don't suggest that T. rex didn't have a devastating bite. Rather, they indicate that the force of a T. rex...

an associate professor of anatomy in the MU School of Medicine. “When you put a lot of force on things, there’s a tradeoff between movement and stability. Birds and lizards have more movement but less stability. When we applied their individual movements to theT. ...
When Bates and Falkingham used computer models to simulateT. rex’sbite, the result was “quite surprising,” Bates told us: a maximum bite force of almost 12,800 pounds, about the equivalent of an adultT. rex’sbody weight (or 13 Steinway Model D concert grand pianos) slamming do...
In this paper, the bite force of Stegosaurus is estimated based on cranial proportions, and its ability to bite through plant materials of different thicknesses is tested. Additionally, complex enamel structures, such as denticles and longitu- dinal ridges, are tested for their influence on ...

To Encourage the Hip Hinge, Create a Counter Balance: For some, raising the arms or extending a light weight away from you helps provide a stabilizing counter-force as you lower yourself down into the squat. To Prevent Knee Buckling, Use a Mini Band: You can place a mini-band around you...
