Creating a computational model of the human vocal tract
Freiwald, Michal ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
The research part of this bachelor’s thesis consists of a brief introduction to the human respiratory system and its subsidiary vocal subsystem along with a summary of basic phonation theories, voice disorders and published computational models of the human vocal tract. The experimental part engages in the making of the computational model itself, set to pronunciation of the vowel /a:/ in a woman vocal tract, on which, using finite element method, some of the basic acoustic analyses are performed, such as modal analysis or harmonic analysis. Calculated formants correspond with the values published in literature. Several different methods were analyzed while computing harmonic response. The most complex and the most time-consuming method, using infinite elements, also proved to be the most precise one. Thesis gives a decent comparison of the precision and complexity between the used methods.

Computational modelling of interaction between oscillating vocal folds and air flow
Pavlica, Ondřej ; Matug, Michal (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
Master thesis deals with creating numerical model of the human vocal folds. Calculation algorithm includes interaction between vocal chords and the air flow. Modal analysis of structural and acoustic environment, backround research of vocal folds function and summary of some published overviews of numerical models are parts of this work. Analysis of the results achieved by the numerical simulations and calculations are focused on the pressure and velocity conditions in the areas under vocal folds, between vocal folds and above vocal folds. Movement and stress analysis of individual layers of vocal folds has been made. Impact of tissue thickness on resulting behaviour has been assessed.

Finite element modelling of voice propagation through the vocal tract and around the human head
Tomeček, Vojtěch ; Pellant, Karel (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with creating of finite element model for the analysis of acustic waves radiation through human vocal tract and through the head surrounding space. The thesis contains a short overview of the anatomy of relevant parts and a short overview of formerly published models relevant to the topic. Then the process of creating the 3D model of human head, including the vocal tract, based on CT scans, and the mesh itself follows. This is succeeded by the computational solution taking in the acount the acoustic absorption of the vocal tract walls and radiation into the open space. The results gained are compared to relevant literature on this topic. The changes in frequency spectra in specific nodes of the mesh are reviewed and compared to relevant literature on the topic. The results could be used as basis of eventual frequention corrections of microphones used for voice diagnosis or registration in general, eg of speach or singing.

Sound level meter for embedded systems
Stejskal, Tomáš ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Botta, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this work is the design and implementation of a sound level meter for emdedded systems. It is designed sound level meter sensor. This sensor includes a microphone, microphone preamplifier and ADC. This sensor is connected to a development kit STM32F4 Discovery, where sound is processed. It is processed filtration, time weighting, calculation of sound leve and loudness weighting. The sound level is then sent via the serial communication USART. This thesis includes a theoretical analysis of noise and its human perceptions. It also describes the development platform used.

Model Study of Ultrasound Effects on Fetal Development
Jaroš, Josef ; Halámek, Josef (referee) ; Hrazdíra,, Ivo (referee) ; Rozman, Jiří (advisor)
The progress in ultrasound techniques goes hand in hand with increasing of diagnostic machine acoustic outputs. Ultrasound biological effects can adversely influence the development of human fetus. Recent studies of thermal effect on biological tissues are usually based on simulation of simple ultrasound transducers. The aim of this work is to build a flexible model of diagnostic system to simulate temperature increase during fetal development. Different types of ultrasound probes were used for generation of acoustic field with simulated piezoelectric element properties. Optimized linear and phased arrays were modeled with dynamic beam steering and focus. Computer simulations were concentrated on extreme conditions in obstetric ultrasonography and 3D tissue model was compared with real ultrasound probes measurements. To detect temperature increase, the bone tissue phantom was used. Results point out potential risks for fetus with diagnostic ultrasound probes. Based on the results of this work, practical recommendations increasing safety of obstetric examinations were drawn.

Analysis of a Voice Propagation around the Human Body
Zelinka, Martin ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Hájek, Petr (advisor)
The main objective of this thesis is to create a suitable realistic 3D model of the human body using photogrammetry and then to perform harmonic acoustic analysis in order to determine the reflection surfaces on the human body and the values of acoustic pressure with its level in the production of the human voice. The result of this work is supported by a search of anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract including models describing the propagation of the human voice in the vocal tract and, last but not least, by comparing the obtained results with previous works.

Transmission line loudspeaker enclosure property measurement
Pavlik, Miroslav ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Balík, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of the master thesis is to describe the characteristics of transmission line loudspeakers. Getting to know the modular transmission line enclosure, which allows changing the position of the speaker and also the combination of two mid-bass speakers. Another goal is the study of types of measurements of frequency characteristics and the subsequent processing of the procedure of composing frequency characteristics in the free field. One of the main points of the diploma thesis is the demonstration of individual properties of the enclosure using frequency characteristics. The last point is the creation of a laboratory assignment.

Hluková analýza v chovu dojnic ve vybraném podniku
DOBROVOLNÝ, Tomáš
In this bachelor thesis, especially in the theoretical part I focus on the construction of stalls and the technologies used in the dairy cows breeding. The next solved topic is welfare so as the last theme is the noise and its sources in the animal husbandries. The practical is focused on the description of the monitored stall unit. The noise level LpA measurement was done under the cattle load with the technological operations by the chosen dairy cows were observed in the workplaces of the agricultural cooperative in Velká Losenice. The results of measurements and comparisons in the chosen objects are introduced in the conclusion of this bachelor thesis.
