"Estimating bite force in extinct dinosaurs using phylogenetically predicted physiological cross-sectional areas of jaw adductor muscles".

You can read the paper for discussions on how these bite force estimates compare to published values (https://t.co/YDKJwGEaAY) but in summary they compare pretty well.
Bite forces can be found here (https://t.co/iGPObu5dvm) but for those I mentioned above:
Acrocanthosaurus, 16,984N
Carcharodontosaurus, 25,449N
Spinosaurus, 11,936N
Compare these with published estimates of Tyrannosaurus, 48,505N (or even higher at around 50,000+N)
