چکیده

The fundamental frequency of phonation (F0) change per unit change in transglottal pressure (dF/dP) was studied at different extension lengths and masses of the vibrating part of a rubber model. The dF/dP was decreased when the vibrating part was extended, and also when the mass of the vibrating part was increased. In the former, the F0 was increased, and in the latter, the F0 was decreased. In humans, we have noticed that when the F0 was increased, the dF/dP first decreased and then increased, taking a V-shaped curve as a function of the F0. The present study reveals the mechanism underlying the V-shaped curve observed in humans.

Effects of length and depth of vibration of the vocal folds on the relationship between transglottal pressure and fundamental frequency of phonation in canine larynges.

The relationship between fundamental frequency of phonation (F0) and the change in F0 per unit change of transglottal pressure (dF/dP) was investigated in 3 excised canine larynges. The effects of the length and depth of vocal fold vibration on the relationship between dF/dP and F0 were evaluated. A positive correlation between dF/dP and F0 was observed when an increase in F0 was accompanied by...

Phonatory control in male singing: a study of the effects of subglottal pressure, fundamental frequency, and mode of phonation on the voice source.

This article describes experiments carried out in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying variation of vocal loudness in singers. Ten singers, two of whom are famous professional opera tenor soloists, phonated at different pitches and different loudnesses. Their voice source characteristics were analyzed by inverse filtering the oral airflow signal. It was found that t...

Cause-effect relationship between vocal fold physiology and voice production in a three-dimensional phonation model.

The goal of this study is to better understand the cause-effect relation between vocal fold physiology and the resulting vibration pattern and voice acoustics. Using a three-dimensional continuum model of phonation, the effects of changes in vocal fold stiffness, medial surface thickness in the vertical direction, resting glottal opening, and subglottal pressure on vocal fold vibration and diff...

Effects of consonant manner and vowel height on intraoral pressure and articulatory contact at voicing offset and onset for voiceless obstruents.

In obstruent consonants, a major constriction in the upper vocal tract yields an increase in intraoral pressure (P(io)). Phonation requires that subglottal pressure (P(sub)) exceed P(io) by a threshold value, so as the transglottal pressure reaches the threshold, phonation will cease. This work investigates how P(io) levels at phonation offset and onset vary before and after different German vo...

The effect of gas density on glottal vibration and exit jet particle velocity.

Although theoretical studies include a term for gas density in their mathematical descriptions of glottal aerodynamics, the effect of gas density on glottal vibration has not been examined empirically. In this study, an in vivo canine model was used to evaluate the effect of gas density on glottal vibration by comparing phonation with air and helium. With gas flow and nerve stimulation held con...
