M Kunze - Non-Smooth Dynamical Systems, 2007 - Springer
For smooth dynamical systems, Lyapunov exponents are a well-established tool for making qualitative predictions about the long-term behaviour of the system, since they describe the …
In this survey we discuss current directions of research in the dynamics of nonsmooth systems, with emphasis on bifurcation theory. An introduction to the state-of-the-art (also for …
A review is presented of the one-parameter, nonsmooth bifurcations that occur in a variety of continuous-time piecewise-smooth dynamical systems. Motivated by applications, a …

Impact oscillators demonstrate interesting dynamical features. In particular, new types of bifurcations take place as such systems evolve from a nonimpacting to an impacting state (or …
A simple model for the response of mechanical systems having two-sided amplitude constraints is considered. The model consists of a piecewise-linear single degree-of …
We consider the simple harmonic oscillator with harmonic excitation and a constraint that restricts motions to one side of the equilibrium position. Thus, on the achievement of a …
This paper presents a unified framework for performing local analysis of grazing bifurcations in n-dimensional piecewise-smooth systems of ODEs. These occur when a periodic orbit …

An elastic beam with one-sided amplitude constraint subjected to periodic excitation is considered. Experimental results are obtained and compared with results given by a …
