Abstract

This study compares the phonatory behavior of an asymmetric vocal fold model to that of each individual vocal fold model in a hemi-configuration. Although phonation frequencies of the two folds in hemi-configurations had a ratio close to 1:3, a subharmonic synchronization between the two folds was not observed in the asymmetric model. Instead, the vibratory behavior was dominated by the dynamics of one fold only, and the other fold was enslaved to vibrate at the same frequency. Increasing subglottal pressure induced a shift in relative dominance between the two folds, leading to abrupt changes in both vibratory pattern and frequency.
