Effects of controlling chaotic vocal fold vibrations on finite element generated vowels
(Proceedings of the 10th Convention of the European Acoustics Association Forum Acusticum 2023, 2023-09)Lumped mass models of the vocal folds have been widely used to analyze the physics of human phonation. This is a strongly non-linear process that results in regular self-oscillations of the vocal folds. ... -
Influence of a realistic human head on the directivity of vowel /a/ based on three-dimensional finite element simulations
(4 p., 2023-09)The human voice can be accurately simulated using three-dimensional (3D) finite element simulations. These simulations involve the generation of sound waves from the vocal cords, their 3D propagation ... -
