A mathematical model for top-shelf vertigo: the role of sedimenting otoconia in BPPV [PDF]
J. Biomech. 37 (2004)1137 --1146, 2003 Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical disorder of the vestibular system in which calcite particles called otoconia interfere with the mechanical functioning of the fluid-filled semicircular canals normally used to sense rotation.

Fluidmechanics of semicircular canals - revisited [PDF]
Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 2018 .: In this work we find the exact solution for the flow field in a semicircular canal which is the main sensor for angular motion in the human body. When the head is rotated the inertia of the fluid in the semicircular canal leads to a deflection of ...

Study the biomechanical performance of the membranous semicircular canal based on bionic models. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 A BA (bionic ampulla) was designed and fabricated using an SMPF (Symmetric electrodes Metal core PVDF Fiber) sensor, which could imitate the sensory hair cells to sense the deformation of the cupula of the BA. Based on the BA, a bionic semicircular canal
