Snake fangs: 3D morphological and mechanical analysis by microCT, simulation, and physical compression testing.

GigaScience - 1 Jan 2018

du Plessis Anton, Broeckhoven Chris, le Roux Stephan G

Abstract excerpt

This Data Note provides data from an experimental campaign to analyse the detailed internal and external morphology and mechanical properties of venomous snake fangs. The aim of the experimental campaign was to investigate the evolutionary development of 3 fang phenotypes and investigate their mechanical behaviour. The study involved the use of load simulations to compare maximum Von Mises stress values when a...
