This book presents a coherent framework for understanding the dynamics of piecewise-
smooth and hybrid systems. An informal introduction expounds the ubiquity of such models …

In this paper, we present the design, modelling and experimental validation of a novel
experimental cam-follower rig for the analysis of bifurcations and chaos in piecewise-smooth …

This book is devoted to the theory of chaotic oscillations in mechanical systems. Detailed
descriptions of the basic types of nonlinearity? impacts and dry friction? are presented. The …

Our investigations of the dynamics of a simple mechanical system show that (i) the structure
of the bifurcation diagram seems to be independent of the friction models, and (ii) small …

We consider an impacting mechanical system in which a particle at position u (t) impacts
with a periodically moving obstacle at position z (t), the motion of which is non-smooth. In …

This paper deals with the rattle noise, caused by the fluctuations of the engine torque
(acyclic excitation) which, under special conditions, can cause multiple impacts inside the …

The applicability of the soft and hard impact models in modeling of vibro-impact systems is
discussed in the paper. We derive the conditions which allow the same rate of energy …
