Modeling Laryngeal Muscle: Combination of Hill-Based Active Properties with Ogden Three-Network Model

Presented in this technical note is the formulation of a Hill-based active stress model and its integration with the Ogden three-network passive model to model both the active and passive properties of laryngeal muscle. The goal in developing this model was to improve the muscle model used in the posturing module of the NCVS voice simulator. The complete muscle model was implemented in MATLAB and simulations were performed to compare the model behavior with laryngeal muscle. Results of the simulations are displayed, showing good agreement between the model and muscle responses.
