Mechanics and modelling for the middle ear

Mechanics and modelling for the middle ear (PDF) is a review by Funnell, Maftoon & Decraemer, originally published on this Web site in 2012 and subsequently revised from time to time. It was intended mainly as a tutorial for people who do not have advanced training in mathematics, mechanics and modelling but who wish to understand what is being done in the modelling of middle-ear mechanics, but it also contains some fairly advanced material.
