For the clinical analysis of underlying mechanisms of voice disorders, we developed a
numerical aeroacoustic larynx model, called simVoice, that mimics commonly observed …

Directivity of speech and singing is determined primarily by the morphology of a person, ie,
head size, torso dimensions, posture, and vocal tract. Previous works have suggested from …

The synthesis of diphthongs in three-dimensions (3D) involves the simulation of acoustic
waves propagating through a complex 3D vocal tract geometry that deforms over time …

Acoustic simulation of sound propagation inside the vocal tract is a key element of speech
research, especially for articulatory synthesis, which allows one to relate the physics of …

Lumped mass models have been studied in depth to unveil the complex nonlinear physics
of phonation. Even in the case of simple symmetric models, slight changes in muscle …

Voiced speech consists mainly of the source signal that is frequency weighted by the
acoustic filtering of the upper airways and vortex-induced sound through perturbation in the …

Nasal cavities are known to introduce antiresonances (dips) in the sound spectrum reducing
the acoustic power of the voice. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) …

Human phonation is a highly non-linear process in which subglottal flow emanating from the
lungs induces self-oscillations of the vocal folds. In normal conditions, this results in the …

A link is established between biomechanical and acoustic 3D models for the numerical
simulation of vowel‐vowel utterances. The former rely on the activation and contraction of …

This study presents formant transition data from 21 speakers for the apical alveolar∼
retroflex contrast in three neighbouring Central Australian languages: Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara …
