Jc. Lucero, CHEST-LIKE AND FALSETTO-LIKE OSCILLATIONS IN A 2-MASS MODEL OF THE VOCAL FOLDS, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 100(5), 1996, pp. 3355-3359
The dynamics of the two-mass model of the vocal fold oscillation is an
alyzed. It is shown that the oscillation may occur around two equilibr
ium positions, and that each case presents similar features as the che
st and falsetto registers, suggesting a relation between them. The swi
tch between equilibrium positions is caused by a transcritical bifurca
tion phenomenon. (C) 1996 Acoustical Society of America.
