Lecture 31 Blog, ECE438 Fall 2010, Prof. Boutin

Friday November 5, 2010 (Week 11) - See Course Outline.


Today, we continued modeling the vocal track as a sequence of tubes. We obtained the relationship between the airflows before and after the junction of two tubes. Combining this with our previous knowledge of the relationship between the airflows at the beginning and end of a single tubes, we obtained a matrix equation relating the airflows at the end of the glottis and at the exit of the mouth. I then attempted to write this expression explicitly for a sequence of 3 tubes. I now realize that the expression is too long for nothing. Next time, I will write the explicit expression for a sequence of two tubes.
