Convergence analysis of element type and integration formulation a first three natural frequencies for shell, one hexahedral layer with the formulation enhanced strain, one hexahedral layer and free mesh with tetrahedral elements. Convergence analysis of tympanic membrane size elements. b Umbo velocity (UV). c Umbo velocity phase (UV phase). For both the size elements analyzed range is from 6E−4 to 8E−5 m
