title: Computer simulation of human tympanic membrane.
abstract: Because of the difficulties in studying the mechanical properties of the human tympanic membrane in situ, structural data from the cadaveric tympanic membrane samples is used for simulation of the surface structure of the tympanic membrane with the help of a computer. The hitherto poorly understood contour of the tympanic membrane is available for the development of a tympanic membrane and middle ear model.
