FINITE-ELEMENT MODELLING OF THE TYMPANIC MEMBRANE RETRACTION POCKET UNDER NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN THE TYMPANIC CAVITY
The finite-element calculation of the static stress-strain state of the middle ear was made in this paper. The malleus, incus and stapes models were constructed on the basis of tomographic data. The tympanic membrane model was obtained using the equations of elliptic hyperboloids. The tympanic membr...
