Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractMany voice disorders impede normal speech production. In severe cases such as laryngeal carcinoma, the total laryngectomy procedure is required, resulting in the loss of the natural ability to produce sound for speech. In this case synthetic forms of speech are employed.

Keywordslaryngeal cartilage, MRI images, speech productionCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractThe study of vocal fold vibration allows for greater understanding of how speech production occurs and of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of associated physiological disorders. Until now an environment to test vocal fold models which are anatomically similar in both form and function has not been available.
