TABLE I.

Material properties of the three-layers of the vocal folds. ρ is the tissue density, $E_p$ is the transversal Young's Modulus, ${\nu }_p$ is the in-plane transversal Poisson's ratio, $E_{\mathit{p}\mathit{z}}$ is the longitudinal Young's Modulus, ${\nu }_{\mathit{p}\mathit{z}}$ is the longitudinal Poisson's ratio and $G_{\mathit{p}\mathit{z}}$ is the longitudinal shear modulus.
