Figure 4.2. Initial loads and boundary conditions applied ta<br />

left MT III (lateral view) of Gorgosaurus libratus, with the<br />

plantar surface at 50 degrees to the substrate. The direction<br />

of arrows indicates the direction of force wmponents, but the<br />

lengths of arrows do not refiect relative force magnitudes.<br />

The parameters are designated as follows:<br />

applyl (purple arrows) zero displacement or rotation of<br />

nodes at proximal end<br />

ng1501 (orange arrows) components of force of 15376<br />

Newtons perpendicular to<br />

substrate, when MT III is<br />

positioned ai 50 degrees to<br />

substrate
