Abstract
A two-dimensional mathematical model of the cochlea of the greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum is constructed. From 0–4.5 mm, the partition has large, constant mass and stiffness with in vacuo resonance of 83 kHz, the bat’s emitted resting frequency. From 4.5–16 mm, partition mass is small and stiffness decreases exponentially with distance from the stapes. Solution is by VLFEM (Very Large Finite Element Method), an analytical/numerical hybrid technique designed for cochlear models with discontinuities.
