Abstract
A composite cylindrical shell is proposed as a mechanical model of the cochlear outer hair cells (OHC). The shell includes two isotropic and one orthotropic layers. The cortical lattice is represented by an orthotropic shell layer with two characteristic in-plane Young's moduli. Models of isotropic materials are used with some effective properties for the subsurface cisternae and the plasma membrane. The bending stiffness, displacements, strains and shear modulus are considered and represented.
