Resum

In this paper, a multimodal theory accounting for higher order acoustical propagation modes is presented as an extension to the classical plane wave theory. This theoretical development is validated against experiments on vocal tract replicas, obtained using a 3D printer and finite element simulations. Simplified vocal tract geometries of increasing complexity are used to investigate the influence of some geometrical parameters on the acoustical properties of the vocal tract. It is shown that the higher order modes can produce additional resonances and anti-resonances and can also strongly affect the radiated sound. These effects appear to be dependent on the eccentricity and the cross-sectional shape of the geometries. Finally, the comparison between the simulations and the experiments points out the importance of taking visco-thermal losses into account to increase the accuracy of the resonance bandwidths prediction.
