Mechanical properties of tympanic membrane (TM) are crucial inputs for modelling acoustic

Mechanical properties of tympanic membrane (TM) are crucial inputs for modelling acoustic transmission through the ear. In this paper a combined experimental and numerical approach was used to determine the mechanical properties of guinea pig TM under quasi-static condition based on the response of the TM to static pressure. A guinea pig bulla was prepared and the intact TM was subjected to both positive and negative pressures while its topography was measured using the micro-fringe projection technique. Images of the deformed TM were acquired and processed with a phase-shift method to reconstruct the surface profile and determine the volume deformation of the TM under pressures. Finite element method with the implementation of a hyperelastic model was established. The simulated TM deformations under applied pressures demonstrated a good agreement with the measured curves of the pressure-volume displacement relationship. The Young's modulus of guinea pig TM from seven bullas was determined as 15.2-28.3 MPa up to a strain level of 25%, and it changes with stress or strain.
