Grazing Orbits and Related Local Bifurcations of an Oscillator with Continuous and Piecewise-Linear Restoring Force

One critical case for the motion of a periodically excited oscillator with continuous and piecewise-linear restoring force is that the motion happens to graze a switching plane between two linear regions of the restoring force. This article presents a numerical scheme for locating the periodic grazi...
