Holmes, Mark H.; Cole, Julian D. Cochlear mechanics: Analysis for a pure tone. (English) Zbl 0543.73126 J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 76, 767-778 (1984). Summary: A three-dimensional hydroelastic model of the cochlea is analyzed, in which the fluid is viscous and the basilar membrane is an inhomogeneous orthotropic elastic plate. After the solution is obtained using a multiple-scale approximation, comparison is made with experiments for the human cochlea.
