Invisible grazings and dangerous bifurcations in impacting systems: The problem of narrow-band chaos


Abstract:

We discovered a narrow band of chaos close to the grazing condition for a simple soft impact oscillator. The phenomenon was observed experimentally for a range of system parameters. Through numerical stability analysis, we argue that this abrupt onset to chaos is caused by a dangerous bifurcation in which two unstable period-3 orbits, created at "invisible" grazings, take part. © 2009 The American Physical Society.
