Numerical simulation of video-kymographic records of the vocal fold vibration
Vampola, T. ; Horáček, Jaromír
The reconstruction of the video-kymographic records from the numerical simulation of the vocal fold vibration is used for prediction of the type of vocal fold damaged. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) fully parametric model of the human larynx was developed and used for numerical simulation of stresses during vibrating vocal folds with collisions. The complex model consists of the vocal folds, arytenoids, thyroid and cricoid cartilages. The vocal fold tissue is modeled as a three layered transversal isotropic material. The results of numerical simulation of the vocal folds oscillations excited by a prescribed intraglottal aerodynamic pressure are presented. The FE contact elements are used for modelling the vocal folds collisions and the stresses in the vocal fold tissue are computed in time domain. The damaged of the ligament tissue is simulated by the modification of the modulus of elasticity. The video-kymographic records are reconstructed for health and damaged vocal folds. The results show significant dynamic stresses in all there directions (horizontal, vertical and anterior-posterior).
