Abstract

We describe a geometric approach to understand the mechanism of creation and annihilation of single-impact periodic orbits close to grazing for a general second-order one degree of freedom impact oscillator. Here, non-degenerate grazing (nonzero acceleration) is assumed, with approaches to degenerate grazing also outlined: this is work in progress. The method in principle extends to more degrees of freedom (coupled oscillators, for example) and to a variety of restitution rules such as soft impacts, delays or sticking.
