The Inner Ear: The Basilar Membrane as a Harmonic Oscillator
... Each point of the basilar membrane is modeled as a simple damped harmonic oscillator with mass m(x), damping coefficient r (x), and stiffness (Hooke’s constant) k (x) that vary along the length of the membrane. Let η(x, t) denote the displacement of the membrane at the distance x along the membrane. ...
