(a) Idealized nasal septum model with an unrestricted nasal tip in mode 3, displaying a C-shaped septum, with a line of high stress running through the anteroposterior direction. (b) Idealized nasal septum model with an unrestricted nasal tip in mode 4, displaying a C-shaped septum, with a line of high stress running through the cephalocaudal direction. Note that the stresses shown are Von Mises stresses.
