Contact Impact Forces at Discontinuous 2-DOF Vibroimpact

Abstract

Dynamic behaviour of contact impact forces in strongly nonlinear discontinuous vibroimpact system is studying. Contact impact force is one of the most significant vibroimpact system characteristics. We investigate the 2-DOF vibroimpact system by numerical parameter continuation method in conjunction with shooting and Newton-Raphson methods. We simulate the impact by nonlinear contact interactive force according to Hertz’s contact law. This paper is the continuation of the previous works [1,2]. We have determined the instability zones and bifurcations points for loading curves [1] and frequency-amplitude response [2] under variation of excitation amplitude and frequency. In this paper we investigate the behaviour of contact forces at bifurcation points particularly at discontinuous bifurcation points where set-valued Floquet multipliers cross the unit circle by jump that is their moduli becoming more than unit by jump. It is phenomenon unique for nonsmooth systems with discontinuous right-hand side. We observe also the contact forces increase at nT -periodical multiple impacts regimes. We also learn the change of contact forces behaviour when the impact between system bodies became the soft one due the change of system parameters.

Intermittent transition to chaos in vibroimpact system

“…1). We had studied its dynamical behaviour in our previous papers [6][7][8][9]. We had seen several zones of instability when the control parameter -external loading frequency -had been varying.…”

Dynamical properties of a non‐autonomous bouncing ball model forced by non‐harmonic excitation

“…A simple impact process model that has big practical importance has been extensively studied by physicists in the past decades, for example, , , and . In this model, a small ball bounces vertically on a massively vibrating baseplate that produces a sequence of impacts supervening in the ball regular and irregular oscillatory motion.…”
