Purpose The purpose of this document is threefold:(a) review the uses of the terms “vocal
fatigue,”“vocal effort,”“vocal load,” and “vocal loading”(as found in the literature) in order to …

This article presents a review of the fluid dynamics, flow-structure interactions, and acoustics
associated with human phonation and speech. Our voice is produced through the process of …

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

The flow-induced responses of four self-oscillating synthetic vocal fold models are
compared. All models were life-sized and fabricated using flexible silicone compounds with …

The aeroacoustic mechanisms in human voice production are complex coupled processes
that are still not fully understood. In this article, a hybrid numerical approach to analyzing …

Sound for the human voice is produced via flow-induced vocal fold vibration. The vocal folds
consist of several layers of tissue, each with differing material properties 1. Normal voice …

A healthy voice is crucial for verbal communication and hence in daily as well as
professional life. The basis for a healthy voice are the sound producing vocal folds in the …

Human vocal folds are highly deformable non-linear oscillators. During phonation, they
stretch up to 50% under the complex action of laryngeal muscles. Exploring the …

Recent vocal fold vibration studies have used models defined using idealized geometry.
Although these models exhibit important similarities with human vocal fold vibration, some …
