Abstract: Measurement on mechanical properties of the stapedial tendon in human middle ear has not been reported in the literature. In this paper, we used the material testing system to conduct uniaxial ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of human tympanic membrane (TM) has been investigated extensively under quasistatic loading conditions in the past. The results, however, are sparse for the mechanical ...

Abstract: A viscoelastic nanoindentation technique was developed to measure both in-plane and through-thickness viscoelastic properties of human tympanic membrane (TM). For measurement of in-plane Young’s ...

Abstract: Middle ear implantable hearing devices as an emerging and effective technology can offer advantages to the individuals with mild to moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss. Several devices ...
