My Work • Created a mathematical model to simulate bone conduction on the cochlea • Looked at: • Wave propagation in cochlea • Vibration of basilar membrane • Fluid motion in the cochlea
Research Process • Fundamental Laws of Physics • Conservation of Momentum • Conservation of Mass • Apply physical properties • Viscosity, compressibility, amplitude, pressure difference in cochlea, stiffness of basilar membrane
Some Results • Velocity of basilar membrane at different frequencies
