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 …

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays an increasing role in the study of speech.
This article reviews the MRI literature of anatomical imaging, imaging for acoustic modelling …

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 growing clinical use of MR elastography requires the development of new quantitative
standards for measuring tissue stiffness. Here, we examine a soft tissue mimicking phantom …

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 …

In recent years, soft robotics technologies enabled the development of a new generation of
biomedical devices. The combination of elastomeric materials with tunable properties and …

The process of human phonation involves a complex interaction between the physical
domains of structural dynamics, fluid flow, and acoustic sound production and radiation …

In humans, ventricular folds are located superiorly to the vocal folds. Under special
circumstances such as voice pathology or singing, they vibrate together with the vocal folds …

A methodology for three-dimensionally printing ultrasoft silicone with a functional stiffness
gradient is presented. Ultraviolet-cure silicone was deposited via two independently …

Under certain conditions, eg, singing voice, the fundamental frequency of the vocal folds can
go up and interfere with the formant frequencies. Acoustic feedback from the vocal tract filter …
