The grazing bifurcation and periodic motion switching of the harmonically forced, piecewise linear system with impacting are investigated. The generic mappings based on the discontinuous boundaries are introduced. Furthermore, the mapping structures are developed for the analytical prediction of periodic motions in such a system. The local stability and bifurcation conditions for specified periodic motions are obtained. The regular and grazing, periodic motions are illustrated. The grazing is the origin of the periodic motion switching for this system. Such a grazing bifurcation cannot be estimated through the local stability analysis. This model is applicable to prediction of periodic motions in nonlinear dynamics of gear transmission systems.

In this paper, periodic motion in an oscillator moving on the periodically traveling belts with dry friction is investigated. The conditions of stick and nonstick motions for such an oscillator are obtained in the relative motion frame, and the grazing and stick (or sliding) bifurcations are presented as well. The periodic motions of such an oscillator are predicted analytically and numerically, and the analytical prediction is based on the appropriate mapping structures. The local stability and bifurcation for such periodic motions are obtained. The periodic motions are illustrated through the displacement, velocity and force responses in absolute and relative frames. This investigation provides an efficient method to predict periodic motions of such an oscillator involving dry-friction. The significance of this investigation lies in controlling motion of such friction-induced oscillator in industry.

This paper focuses on periodic motions and chaos relative to the impacting chatter and stick in order to find the origin of noise and vibration in such a gear transmission system. Such periodic motions are predicted analytically through mapping structures, and the corresponding local stability and bifurcation analysis are carried out. The grazing and stick conditions presented in [Luo & O'Connor, 2007] are adopted to determine the existence of periodic motions, which cannot be achieved from the local stability analysis. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate periodic motions and stick motion criteria. Such an investigation may provide some clues to reduce the noise in gear transmission systems.

Dynamic behaviors of a particle (or a bouncing ball) in a generalized Fermi-acceleration oscillator are investigated. The motion switching of a particle in the Fermi-oscillator causes the complexity and unpredictability of motion. Thus, the mechanism of motion switching of a particle in such a generalized Fermi-oscillator is studied through the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems, and the corresponding analytical conditions for the motion switching are developed. From solutions of linear systems in subdomains, four generic mappings are introduced, and mapping structures for periodic motions can be constructed. Thus, periodic motions in the Fermi-acceleration oscillator are predicted analytically, and the corresponding local stability and bifurcations are also discussed. From the analytical prediction, parameter maps of periodic and chaotic motions are achieved for a global view of motion behaviors in the Fermi-acceleration oscillator. Numerical simulations are carried out for illustrations of periodic and chaotic motions in such an oscillator. In existing results, motion switching in the Fermi-acceleration oscillator is not considered. The motion switching for many motion states of the Fermi-acceleration oscillator is presented for the first time. This methodology will provide a useful way to determine dynamical behaviors in the Fermi-acceleration oscillator.

In this paper, periodic motions of a periodically forced, damped Duffing oscillator are analytically predicted by use of implicit discrete mappings. The implicit discrete maps are achieved by the discretization of the differential equation of the periodically forced, damped Duffing oscillator. Periodic motion is constructed by mapping structures, and bifurcation trees of periodic motions are developed analytically, and the corresponding stability and bifurcations of periodic motion are determined through eigenvalue analysis. Finally, from the analytical prediction, numerical results of periodic motions are presented to show the complexity of periodic motions.

In this paper, the bifurcation trees of period-1 motions to chaos are presented in a periodically driven pendulum. Discrete implicit maps are obtained through a mid-time scheme. Using these discrete maps, mapping structures are developed to describe different types of motions. Analytical bifurcation trees of periodic motions to chaos are obtained through the nonlinear algebraic equations of such implicit maps. Eigenvalue analysis is carried out for stability and bifurcation analysis of the periodic motions. Finally, numerical simulation results of various periodic motions are illustrated in verification to the analytical prediction. Harmonic amplitude characteristics are also be presented.
