Modeling the Mechanical Effects of Liquid Mediated Adhesion Between the Human Vocal Folds

The vocal folds are a complex self-oscillating biological system. In the current research, an equation was developed to model viscous adhesion forces that occur when the collision of the vocal folds results in the formation of a liquid bridge. The adhesion equation was validated using experimental d...
