Pathological vocal fold vibration is numerically simulated and analyzed using an asymmetric distributed-parameter model, previously proposed by the authors. In the simulations, mass, stiffness, initial glottal half-width at the downstream end and thickness of unilateral vocal fold are chosen as the parameters representative of unilateral vocal fold paralysis, and numerical calculations are carried out for four sets of parameters including one symmetric case. The results show a variety of vibratory patterns such as period-doubling and asymmetries in amplitude and phase, which are comparable with those of patients with paralyzed vocal folds and those observed in model experiments with excised larynges. These dynamical behaviours of great complexity strongly influence speech sound waveforms, and their effects on voice quality are discussed based on spectrum analysis. Furthermore, diversity of vibratory patterns shown by asymmetric vocal folds could be attributable to imbalance in bilateral natural frequencies, made by those parameters.
