In this paper the forced vibrations of a linear, single degree of freedom oscillator (sdofo) with a time-varying mass will be studied. The forced vibrations are due to small masses which are periodically hitting and leaving the oscillator with different velocities. Since these small masses stay for some time on the oscillator surface the effective mass of the oscillator will periodically vary in time. Not only solutions of the oscillator equation will be constructed, but also the stability properties, and the existence of periodic solutions will be discussed.

To effectively model and analyze the vibro-impact system with time-varying mass, we considered the discontinuous impacts as a continuous effect of stiffness and viscous damping acting on the system and studied the dynamic performance based on the theory of bifurcation and chaos. It is demonstrated that the system will experience a process of from period-one motion to chaos and again back to period-one motion when the system transit the resonance. Our results may find applications in impact vibrations coupled with dispersive matter.
