Bifurcations in impact oscillators : theoretical and experimental studies

One of the most important features of nonlinear dynamicai systems is that, as system parameters are varied, qualitative changes in the overall behaviour of the system can occur at a bifurcation . For smooth systems, the local bifurcations which occur under the change of one parameter are well unders...
