| Abstract: | The transversally inhomogeneous cross-section of the model is constructed from the data obtained by Retzius, Hardesty, Wever, and Miller. On the basis of a three-dimensional linear mechanical WKB model of a cochlea without negative friction we obtain high frequency selectivity and a phase shift in the domain of the peak of the amplitude function comparable with the measurements taken by Sellick and Robles.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
