Numerical simulation of the human cochlea


Abstract eng:
The creation of the finite element model of the linear (passive) human cochlea is described. The model includes rigid wound helix, elastic basilar and Reissner’s membranes, whose enclose spaces of scala vestibuli, scala medii and scala tympani. Harmonic analysis for frequency range from 250Hz to 10 kHz in the system Ansys was applied on this model, the pressure excitations were considered in front of scalar vestibule in the position corresponding of the oval window. The amplitudes of basilar membrane vibrations were evaluated for different frequencies of the audible range.
