Biomechanical Design and Optimization of Middle Ear Implants

This book provides a comprehensive engineering framework for designing and optimizing passive middle ear implants. It integrates biomechanical principles, finite element analysis, and computational modeling with biomaterials science and additive manufacturing. Topics include ossicular replacement prosthesis design, material selection, topology optimization, and patient-specific solutions.

Key Features:

• Integrates middle ear biomechanics, implant design, and computational modeling (FEM-based analysis) for TORP/PORP systems
• Explores biomaterials engineering, including hydroxyapatite coatings and functionally graded materials (FGMs)
• Includes advances in computational biomechanics, biomaterials, hydroxyapatite coatings, and additive manufacturing
• Delivers actionable workflows spanning design recommendations, parameter studies, and multi-objective optimization
• Validates models by aligning simulations with experimental data and clinical outcomes

Bridging engineering innovation with clinical practice, it offers medical device engineers, researchers, and otologic surgeons’ essential guidance for developing next-generation hearing restoration technologies with improved performance, biocompatibility, and surgical outcomes.
