A method to determine the area function of speech based on perturbation theory
نویسنده
چکیده
A new method to determine the vocal tract area function of speech from given measured formants based on a new perturbation algorithm is proposed. Two models of VT area function with parameters that have direct relation to formant frequencies are used. A new perturbation algorithm with emphasis on arbitrary area changes and an automatic procedure is proposed. A corresponding computer program is developed. Evaluating tests for the six Russian vowels and continuous speech are carried out with satisfactory results.

Analytic Equation of State for the Square-well Plus Sutherland Fluid from Perturbation Theory
Analytic expressions were derived for the compressibility factor and residual internal energy of the square-well plus Sutherland fluid. In this derivation, we used the second order Barker-Henderson perturbation theory based on the macroscopic compressibility approximation together with an analytical expression for radial distribution function of the reference hard sphere fluid. These properties...

In this study, nonlinear analysis for thick cylindrical pressure vessels with arbitrary variable thickness made of hyperelastic functionally graded material properties in nearly incompressible state and clamped boundary conditions under non-uniform pressure loading is presented. Thickness and pressure of the shell are considered in axial direction by arbitrary nonlinear profiles. The FG materia...

A new approach to produce high fidelity speech sounds by applying both the inverse solution of speech production and the pitchsynchronousarticulatory synthesis technique is presented. Given a formant trace target, the dynamic vocal-tract area function together with time variant VT length are estimated using an inverse solution of speech production. The improved Kelly-Lochbaum filter of the synt...

In this paper, a comparison is made between direct and indirect perturbation approaches to solve the non-linear vibration equations of a piezoelectrically actuated cantilever microbeam. In this comparison, the equation of motion is considered according to Euler-Bernoulli theory with considering the non-linear geometric and inertia terms resulted from shortening effect. In the direct perturbatio...
متن کاملNonlinear stability of rotating two superposed magnetized fluids with the technique of the homotopy perturbation
In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....
