Table 3. Properties and Natural Frequencies of Turtle Utricle models.
Rows 1,2 & 3 contain the natural frequencies of the CFL-HB complex OM models with two different moduli. The frequency results are compared with the results of two different HB models presented in Rows 4 & 5. The stiffness contribution of hair bundles relative to the CFL-HB complex are calculated.
