A micro-mechanical model for the fibrous tissues of vocal folds

Résumé

Composed of collagen, elastin and muscular fibrous networks, vocal folds are soft laryngeal multi-layered tissues owning remarkable vibro-mechanical performances. However, the impact of their histological features on their overall mechanical properties still remains elusive. Thereby, this study presents a micro-mechanical hyperelastic model able to describe the 3D fibrous architecture and the surrounding matrices of the vocal-fold sublayers, and to predict their mechanical behavior. For each layer, the model parameters were identified using available histo-mechanical data, including their quasi-static response for key physiological loading paths, i.e., longitudinal tension, transverse compression and longitudinal shear. Regardless of the loading path, it is shown how macroscale nonlinear, anisotropic tissue responses are inherited from the fiber scale. Scenarios of micro-mechanisms are predicted, highlighting the major role of 3D fiber orientation in tension, steric hindrance in compression, and matrix contribution in shear. Finally, combining these predictions to vibrating hyperelastic Timoshenko beam’s theory, the impact of the fibrous architecture of the upper layers on vocal-fold vibratory properties is emphasized.
