title: An elastic force-length relation for tympanic membrane implants--a preliminary report.
abstract: An elastic force-length relation has been recorded for tympanic membrane implants. A model based on the fibre structure of these materials was used to obtain a value for their elastic modulus for tympanic membrane.
