Abstract
The simplified two-mass model of human vocal folds, proposed by Steinecke and Herzel [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97(3), 1874-1884 (1995)], has seen widespread use throughout the speech community. Herein, an error is corrected in the contact loadings on colliding vocal folds with asymmetric tissue properties, as arises clinically in cases of unilateral paralysis. A revised contact model is proposed that remediates the erroneous asymmetric contact forces. The vibration regime map presented in Steinecke and Herzel illustrating the dynamical behavior of the system is revised using the corrected collision model.
