Experimental Study of the Middle Ear Biological Support Structures

During the last few years, the effort for a better understanding of biological systems from a structural and physiological perspective, lead to the appearance of several scientific works concerning the biomechanical study and modeling of different human, and also animal structures. Biological systems are in general, the assembly of a given number of distinguishable components. In this context, the middle ear can be modeled as a mechanical system composed by several linked elements [1] (ossicles-Stirrup, Anvil and Hammer, and Eardrum).
