Volumetric model of human vocal folds
Vampola, T. ; Horáček, Jaromír
The article describes the vollumetric 3D FE model of real human vocal folds in a defined phonation position. The model was developed from the CT images of the plaster casts obtained by a special procedure during experiments with the excised human larynges, when the phonatioon caused by the airflow was suddenly stopped without changing the position of the fixed larynx. The model is determined for studies of dynamical stresses in the vocal fold tissue during vocal folds collisions.

Acoustic modal analysis of male vocal tract for Czech vowels
Dedouch, K. ; Horáček, Jaromír ; Vampola, T. ; Švec, J. G. ; Kršek, P. ; Havlík, R.
Acoustic frequency-modal characteristics of six finite element models of a male vocal tract are presented and analysed. The FE models correspond to the vocal tract geometries for the Czech vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ and /y/ were obtained using the magnetic resonance imaging technique. The computed results of the acoustaic modal analysis are in a reasonable agreement with the data on formants known form the Czech phonetic literature.

Finite element modeling of male vocal tract considering cleft palate
Dedouch, K. ; Horáček, Jaromír ; Vampola, T. ; Černý, L.
The FE models of vocal tract designed for vowel /a/ are analyzed considering the cleft palate. The first is designed using the published data, the second model corresponds to the reaal mate vocal tract designed by MRI data. Acoustic modal analysis is focused on investigation of the influence of the cleft palate on the formant frequencies. The results indicate, that after a small jump of the frequencies for a small cleft area the formant frequencies F1, F2 are influenced by the size of the cleft palate only very slightly.
