3D finite element modeling of blast wave transmission in human ear from external ear to cochlear hair cells
(2023-05-12)Auditory system dysfunction caused by exposure to blast waves is one of the leading causes of disability among military servicemembers and veterans. While the external and middle ear response to blast overpressures (BOPs) ... -
Blast wave transmission through the ear with computational and 3D printed models and assessment of cochlea damage with SEM imaging
(2021-05-14)Blast-induced injuries affect the health of service members, veterans, and other victims, in which the auditory system is often damaged rupturing the tympanic membrane (TM) and reducing the number of viable cochlear hair ... -
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HUMAN INCUDOSTAPEDIAL JOINT AND TYMPANIC MEMBRANE IN NORMAL AND BLAST-DAMAGED EARS
(2018-05-11)The human ear consists of outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. The mechanical properties of the incudostapedial joint (ISJ) and tympanic membrane (TM) are critical to the sound transmission function of the ear because the ... -
Novel Finite Element Method to Predict Blast Wave Transmission Through Human Ear
(2016-08)As military weapons systems continue to become more powerful, the noise levels they generate become more dangerous to the soldiers deploying them. This has increased the need for advanced methods of evaluating the risks ...
