An experimental study of acoustically induced rocking motion of simple asymmetric geometries

Otoliths are stone-like structures in the inner ear of fish that play a crucial role in fish hearing. The original object of this research was to determine if any rocking motion was present in an otolith suspended in tissue phantom when subjected to a plane acoustic wave. Measuring the motion of an...
