Design of finite element models of male vocal tract

pages 56 - +7p, full text

Two types of finite element (FE) models of male vocal tract are presented and compared in the paper. The geometry of male supraglottal space, which corresponds to the English vowels, was published by Story at al. in 1996. The files of data were obtained by using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method. However, the design of mathematical model of the male vocal tract was very laborious. New, progressive procedure for direct transformation of the data file obtained by MRI technique to the finite element model was developed recently. Acoustic frequency-modal characteristics of both types of the FE models are compared.
