Numerical investigation of acoustic characteristics of 3D human vocal tract model with nasal cavities
Vampola, T. ; Štorkán, J. ; Horáček, Jaromír ; Radolf, Vojtěch
Acoustic resonance characteristics of 3D human vocal tract model without and with nasal and\nparanasal cavities were computed. Nasal cavities (NC) form the side branches of the human vocal tract and exhibit antiresonance and resonance properties which influence the produced voice quality. Developed FE models of acoustic spaces of nasal and vocal tract for vowel /a:/ are used to study the influence of (NC) on phonation. Acoustics frequency-modal characteristics are studied by modal analysis and numerical simulation of acoustic signals in time domain is performed by transient analysis of the FE models.
Computationally Efficient Model of the Human Vocal Fold
Štorkán, J. ; Vampola, T. ; Horáček, Jaromír
One mass model of the vocal folds with three degrees of freedom in 2D space was created and used to simulate the movement of the vocal folds. Vocal folds are modeled as a solid mass stored flexibly in 2D. The model is excited by aerodynamic forces. The flow is solved by analytical model incompressible and non-viscous fluid with constant flow. In case of close of the glottis are aerodynamic forces replaced by Hertz model of the contact forces. Movement equations are solved by numerical method. The model allows to solve the movement of the vocal folds in the time domain, pressure field acting on the vocal folds or contact pressures.
Using the proper orthogonal decomposition analysis for detecting pathologic vocal fold vibration
Štorkán, J. ; Vampola, T. ; Horáček, Jaromír
A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) fully parametric model of the human larynx based on computer tomography (CT) measurements was developed and specially adapted for numerical simulation of vocal folds vibrations with collisions. The complex model consists of the vocal folds, arytenoids, thyroid and cricoid cartilages. The vocal fold tissue is modeled as a four layered material where part of the cover was substituted by a liquid layer modelling the superficial layer of lamina propria. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis of the excited modes of vibration was used for detecting changes in vibration properties of the vocal folds caused by pathologic changes of vocal fold structure (vocal nodule).
