Model of vocal fold oscillation in viscous fluid flow
Horáček, Jaromír
A vibrating element on an elastic foundation in the wall of a channel conveying air approximates the vocal fold oscillations. The viscous incompressible 1-D fluid flow theory is used and a generally defined shape of the vocal fold is considered. The numerical solution yields the instability thresholds, which are close to the known physiological data for phonation thresholds. The viscosity is important for very small opening of the glottis where its effect on instability boundaries increases.

Shape of the human vocal folds in a defined phonation position
Horáček, Jaromír ; Švec, J. ; Klepáček, I. ; Vetešník, A. ; Veselý, Jan
The paper presents experimental investigation of aerodynamic shape of the vocal folds measured in a defined phonation position with excised larynges. The vocal fold vibrations were excited by airflow and monitored acoustically, by means of laser vibrometry, pressure transducers and stroboscopy techniques. Method for casting laryngeal cavities for determining the vocal fold shape was developed. By the optical topography and the electron scanning microscope the shapes of the vocal folds were analysed.

Termomechanické procesy v poddajných tlumících členech
Pešek, Luděk ; Půst, Ladislav ; Vaněk, František
Effect of increase of heat in the rubber-like materials with high inner damping during repeated deformation is investigated. Rheological properties e.g. stiffness and damping of such materials depend considerably on temperature. Knowledge of complex modulus properties of polymeric damping materials are strongly needed for the design of systems suppressed to vibrations, for the control of vibrations and noise. Simplified mathematical model of two degrees of freedom is analysed from the point of view of lost energy, heat transfer between inner and outer part, cooling of the surface and changing stiffness and inner damping. This model is the first stage for studying of thermomechanic interaction in the 3D form of damping elements by FEM
