X Abstract

The criterion for grazing motions in a dry-friction oscillator is obtained from the local theory of non-smooth dynamical systems on the connectable and accessible domains. The generic mappings for such a dry-friction oscillator are also introduced. The sufficient and necessary conditions for grazing at the final states of mappings are expressed. The initial and final switching sets of grazing mapping, varying with system parameters, are illustrated for the grazing parametric characteristics. The initial and grazing, switching manifolds in the switching sets are defined through grazing mappings. Finally, numerical illustrations of grazing motions are very easily carried out with help of the analytical predictions. This paper provides a comprehensive investigation of grazing motions in the dry-friction oscillator for a better understanding of the grazing mechanism of such a discontinuous system. The investigation based on the local singularity theory is more intuitive and efficient than the discontinuous mapping techniques.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
