A Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Model of a Human Dry Skull for Bone-Conduction Hearing

A three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model of a human dry skull was devised for simulation of human bone-conduction (BC) hearing. Although a dry skull is a simplification of the real complex human skull, such model is valuable for understanding basic BC hearing processes. For validation of the mo...
