Abstract

This study aims to improve the understanding of the fluid-structure-acoustic interaction of human voice production. As the vocal folds are central to voice production, we focus on the analysis of their material properties and oscillatory behavior. With the aim of ensuring reliable results, we describe the production of synthetic vocal folds with defferent properties out of silicone rubber. Then we pursued two major goals. Firstly, we present and discuss an extensive concept for the determination of the static, dynamic and local material parameters of the utilized material. Three different measurement approaches are proposed to fulfill this task. Results from testing of the silicone material and the synthetic vocal folds produced from this material are presented. Where possible, results from the different setups are compared and shown in relation to literature values. Furthermore, environmental impacts and aging aspects are taken into account. The second topic discussed is the development of a collision force sensor. The performance of this sensor is demonstrated for vocal fold oscillations of several different vocal fold models. Time signals of the spatially resolved pressure are recorded.
