Commonly applied models to study vocal fold vibrations in combination with air flow distributions are self-sustained physical models of the larynx consisting of artificial silicone vocal folds. Choosing appropriate mechanical parameters and layer geometries for these vocal fold models while considering simplifications due to manufacturing restrictions is difficult but crucial for achieving realistic behavior. In earlier work by Schmidt et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 129, 2168-2180 (2011)], the authors presented an approach in which material parameters of a static numerical vocal fold model were optimized to achieve an agreement of the displacement field with data retrieved from hemilarynx experiments. This method is now generalized to a fully transient setting. Moreover in addition to the material parameters, the extended approach is capable of finding optimized layer geometries. Depending on chosen material restriction, significant modifications of the reference geometry are predicted. The additional flexibility in the design space leads to a significantly more realistic deformation behavior. At the same time, the predicted biomechanical and geometrical results are still feasible for manufacturing physical vocal fold models consisting of several silicone layers. As a consequence, the proposed combined experimental and numerical method is suited to guide the construction of physical vocal fold models. (C) 2013 Acoustical Society of America.
