A nonlinear model for the mechanism responsible for the amplification of the sound wave in the ear is derived using the geometric and material properties of the system.The SHEATHS result is a nonlinear beam equation, with the nonlinearity appearing in a coefficient of the equation.Once derived, the beam problem is analyzed for various loading conditions.

Based on this analysis it is seen that the mechanism is capable of producing a spatially MUSCLE MAGIC BALM localized gain, as required by any amplification mechanism, but it is also capable of increasing the spatial contrast in the signal.
