1.3 Problems with lumped models

Lack of direct connection between parameter values and anatomical or physiological properties.

For example:

moment of inertia changes if axis of rotation changes
mass parameter for stapes changes if its mode of vibration changes
eardrum parameters change if its vibration pattern changes
