The rupture of the tympanic membrane (TM) is one of the major indicators for blast injuries
due to the vulnerability of TM under exposure to blast overpressure. The mechanical …

The human tympanic membrane (TM, or eardrum) is composed primarily of layers of
collagen fibers oriented in the radial and circumferential directions, as well as epidermal and …

The rupture of tympanic membrane (TM) has long been viewed as an indicator of blast
injury, especially for hearing loss. However, little is known about damage to the TM caused …

Mechanical properties of the tympanic membrane (TM) are important for studying the
transfer function of the auditory system. However, nearly all reported human data are limited …

Mechanics of tympanic membrane (TM) is crucial for investigating the acoustic transmission
through the ear. In this study, we studied the wrinkling behavior of tympanic membrane …

Mechanical properties of the tympanic membrane (TM) play an important role in sound
transmission through the middle ear. While numerous studies have investigated the …

Background: Understanding the mechanical behavior of RWM is important for cochlear
surgery and design for the cochlear implant. Although the anatomy of RWM has been widely …

Tympanic membrane (TM) transmits the sound pressure in the outer ear into mechanical
vibration in the middle ear. Quantitate study on the middle ear sound transfer function …
