The sketch map of the vocal fold model: (a) model structure and boundary condition, (b) the correspondence of the model to a real canine larynx, where T, D, and L represent the thickness, depth, and length of the vocal fold, respectively. The fixed boundary condition was applied on the gray surfaces (the anterior surface, the posterior surface, and the lateral surface). The free boundary condition was applied on the top surface (x–y plane at z = T) and the bottom surface (x–y plane at z = 0). A drive force based on Bernoulli’s law was applied on the medial surface (the y–z plane at x = 0) to generate the self-vibration of this model.
