Abstract

In this work we shall assume that the basilar membrane is found at the real axis of the complex z-plane. The membrane is surrounded by a fluid. The hydrodynamical pressure p depends on space and time. The actual pressure p(x,0,t) at the membrane consIsts of a known part which results from a forced fluid flow and an unknown disturbance. The unknown pressure is often called the radiation pressure.
