Biomechanical and Vibratory Characterization of Synthetic Vocal Fold Phantoms Mimicking Pathological Conditions
This study investigates how benign vocal fold pathologies alter vibratory and biomechanical behavior through an integrated computational and experimental framework. Silicone phantoms representing healthy vocal folds, sulcus vocalis, and vocal fold polyps were fabricated from room-temperature vulcanizing silicone, whose...
