This paper presents a review of the experimental data available concerning ear-drum structure, properties and behaviour, in order to provide a basis for quantitative modelling and to identify areas where further information is required. The review of anatomy and structure indicates a lack of quantitative data about thickness, fibre distribution, three-dimensional curvature, and post-natal development. The mechanical properties of the ear-drum and attached structures are very poorly known, particularly with respect to isotropy, uniformity and damping. A historical review of observations of ear-drum vibration patterns shows general agreement that at low frequencies the displacements of the manubrium are smaller than those of the surrounding drum. Possible reasons are suggested for the apparent incompatibility of Békésy's capacitive-probe measurements with this picture.
本文对有关鼓膜结构、特性及行为的现有实验数据进行了综述，以便为定量建模提供依据，并确定需要进一步信息的领域。对解剖结构的综述表明，缺乏关于厚度、纤维分布、三维曲率和出生后发育的定量数据。鼓膜及其附属结构的力学特性鲜为人知，尤其是关于各向同性、均匀性和阻尼方面。对鼓膜振动模式观测的历史回顾表明，人们普遍认同在低频时，锤骨柄的位移小于周围鼓膜的位移。文中还针对贝凯西电容式探头测量结果与这一情况明显不相符的现象提出了可能的原因。
