Mechanical function of the unique alveolar torus in the sabretooth <i>Nimravus brachyops</i> (Nimravidae, Carnivora).

However, torus models show a trend of decreasing strain energy and maximum von Mises strain values with higher gape angles, whereas the original model shows an increasing trend in strain energy with gape angle and a subtle decrease in strain with gape angle ( figure 3A,B ).
