Analysis of Vestibular Hair Cell Bundle Mechanics Using Finite Element Modeling
The vestibular system of vertebrates consists of the utricle, saccule, and the semicircular canals. Head movement causes deformation of hair cell bundles in these organs, which translate this mechanical stimulus into an electrical response sent to the nervous system. This study consisted of two …

Modeling the Stimulation of Vestibular Hair Cell Bundles Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis
… finite element analysis were employed to study vestibular hair cell bundle mechanics under physiologic stimulus conditions. CFD was performed using ANSYS CFX and FEA utilized a custom MATLAB model. Nine varieties of hair cell bundles were modeled using tip-forcing only (commonly used …
