Although many detailed fluid-structure interaction models of human phonation have been created, structural analysis of the vocal fold structure is uncommon. As a result, the vocal fold structure is not well understood. Structural analysis provides useful information for the creation of efficient fluid-structure interaction and reduced order models. To this end, a detailed model of the human vocal fold was created, and modal analysis was used to determine the model’s sensitivity to boundary conditions, geometric parameters, and material properties.
