Abstract
The outer hair cell is a receptor cell located within the cochlea of the inner ear. Through the length changes, the outer hair cell provides the basilar membrane with additional energy which may explain the sharp tuning of the mammalian ear. In actual conditions, the outer hair cell undergoes a combination of axial, bending, and twisting mode of loading, and a characterization of the cell wall bending stiffness is important as well as the in-plane parameters. This paper provides estimates of Young's moduli, Poisson's ratios, and the bending stiffnesses of the anisotropic out hair cell.
