Abstract:
The vocal folds are an essential component of human speech production and communication. Advancements in voice research allow for improved voice disorder treatments. Since in vivo analysis of vocal fold function is limited, models have been developed to simulate vocal fold motion. In this research, synthetic and computational vocal fold models were used to investigate various aspects of vocal fold vibratory characteristics. A series of tests were performed to quantify the effect of varying material and geometric parameters on the models' flow-induced responses. First, the influence of asymmetr

The voice is the primary mode of communication for humans. Because the voice is so important, voice disorders tend to severely diminish quality of life. A better understanding of the physics of voice production can help to improve treatment of voice disorders. For this thesis research a self-oscillating synthetic vocal fold model was developed, compared with previous synthetic vocal fold models, and used to explore the physical effects of augmentation injections on vibration dynamics.

Abstract:
The vocal folds are two membranous lips of soft tissue located within the human larynx. During phonation, they undergo self-sustained oscillations. Common voice disorders are believed to result from excessive mechanical stresses within the vocal folds' mucosal layer. The overarching goal of the present study was to better understand the relationship between mechanical loading and vocal fold tissue response. The bulk mechanical properties of the vocal folds were initially investigated using uniaxial traction testing and shear rheometry. These methods were used to quantify the material parameter

Abstract:
The vocal folds are essential for speech production, and a better understanding of vocal fold vibration characteristics may help improve treatments of voice disorders. However, studying real vocal folds presents significant challenges. In-vivo studies are limited by access and safety issues. Excised larynges have a short useable lifetime (on the order of minutes) and are difficult to parameterize. In contrast, synthetic vocal fold models have long useable lifetimes and can be easily parameterized. In this thesis, a series of tests performed on recently developed synthetic, self-oscillating mod

Abstract:
Voice production is the result of the fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) of airflow through glottis and the vocal folds. The physics of the voice production consists of the geometry of the vocal folds and larynx, the aerodynamics of the airflow within larynx, and mechanical properties of the vocal folds. Through these physical aspects of voice production, engineering analyses can contribute to voice research. Creation of patient-specific computer models of the vocal folds and larynx may be considered as one of the main contributions of engineering studies in voice research. Person-to-person di

The vocal folds are a complex self-oscillating biological system. In the current research, an equation was developed to model viscous adhesion forces that occur when the collision of the vocal folds results in the formation of a liquid bridge. The adhesion equation was validated using experimental data, and simplified to a one-dimensional approximation with an included correction factor that adjusted the predicted pressure in situations where the one-dimensional approximation was invalid.

Abstract:
Les travaux de cette thèse portent sur la compréhension des phénomènes physiques sous-jacents à la production normale ou pathologique de la voix. Certaines formes de pathologies pouvant concerner des affections structurelles des cordes vocales (polypes, paralysie, ...) et altérer de façon plus ou moins conséquente la mise en vibration des cordes vocales. Une partie de ces travaux porte ainsi sur l'observation expérimentale de la production de parole pathologique, grâce notamment à la mise au point d'une maquette auto-oscillante de cordes vocales artificielles. Celle-ci reprend la structure de

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the effects in speech production of prediction during speech comprehension. The topic is raised by recent theoretical models of speech comprehension, which suggest a more integrated role for speech production and comprehension mechanisms than has previously been posited. The thesis is specifically concerned with the suggestion that during speech comprehension upcoming input is simulated with reference to the listener’s own speech production system by way of efference copy. Throughout this thesis the approach taken is to investigate whether representations elicited duri
