title: [Biomechanical model simulating the evolutionary morphology of the human cranium. Preliminary note].
abstract: A simulation strategy as been pointed in order to evaluate the fate of the chewing stresses exerting at the molars. The human skull's structure is considered as analog of a built-up arch and/or vault system well adapted for such mechanical fitting. The shallow shell routine of Ices-STRUDL program was worked out. The preliminary results are reported.
