The bifurcation structure of a periodically driven spherical gas/vapour bubble is examined by means of methods of nonlinear analysis. The study of Behnia and his coworkers [1] revealed that the bifurcation structures with the pressure amplitude of the excitation as control parameter are structurally similar provided that R E ω is kept constant. In the present paper, this problem is revisited. Analytical and numerical investigations of the bubble oscillator, which is the Keller-Miksis equation, are presented. It is shown that the validity range of Behnia's condition is governed by the viscosity and the surface tension, and holds only for relatively large bubbles. In water, the effect of viscosity is negligible, and the surface tension plays significant role at bubble size lower than approximately 5 µm.
