Abstract:
In this talk, I will report our recent results on the nonlinear behavior of a kind of impact system subjected to harmonic loading. The system is represented by a cantilever beam which hits and rebounds from two symmetry rigid barriers during vibration. The periodic solution to the motion equations is formulated based on the ordinary differential equation theory. The numerical simulation is employed to analysis the nonlinear behavior. The grazing bifurcation and double-periodic bifurcation are discussed.
