NONLINEAR DYNAMIC MODEL OF KINETOCILIA MOTION: 2D CASE

Irina V. Ogneva and Vladimir V. Eliseev

Abstract

The article includes a proposed approach to eukaryotic flagellums and cilium (kinetocilia) mathematical modeling. The approach is based on the total system of nonlinear elasticity theory equations, which was modified. Kinetocilia motion is examined in one plane. It makes possible to compare experimental data with results of mathematical modeling.
