A New Elliptical Model of the Vocal Tract
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new model of the vocal tract is proposed. It is based on elliptical cylinders. It uses the vocal tract model based on PARCOR coefficients and midsaggital measurements of the voice tube. PARCOR coefficients were obtained from linear prediction coefficients which had been obtained by Levinson-Durbin method. Midsaggital lengths, understood as the height of a real vocal tract, were taken from X-Ray pictures, and they were averaged from the vocal tracts of a few people, who uttered the same vowels. The paper bases on Polish vowels: a,e,o,u,i,y.

Development of a New Dynamic Friction Model for Analytical Modeling of Elliptical Vibration Assisted Turning Process
A new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (EVAT) was developed in this research. The periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. In modeling of machining processes (including the EVAT process), static Coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. Because of the peri...

متن کاملEffects of Voice Therapy on Vocal Tract Discomfort in Muscle Tension Dysphonia
Introduction: Patients with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) suffer from several physical discomforts in their vocal tract. However, few studies have examined the effects of voice therapy (VT) on the vocal tract discomfort (VTD) in patients with voice disorders. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of VT on the VTD in patients with MTD. Materi...

متن کاملFinite element computation of elliptical vocal tract impedances using the two-microphone transfer function method
A two-microphone transfer function (TMTF) method is adapted to a numerical framework to compute the radiation and input impedances of three-dimensional vocal tracts of elliptical cross-section. In its simplest version, the TMTF method only requires measuring the acoustic pressure at two points in an impedance duct and the postprocessing of the corresponding transfer function. However, some cons...
