Abstract

The impact oscillator is one of the simplest mechanical systems with the strong nonlinearity (Fig.l(a)), which is caused by a sudden change of stiffness during the contact of impacting bodies. When the time duration of the impact can be assumed negligibly short, then the Newton elementary theory of impact is used for the investigation of the system dynamics. This problem was investigated from many points of view. The paper introduces a short review of results and concentrates on the explaining the substance of four ways from periodic to chaotic impact motions, especially on the interrupted Feigenbaum cascade and the interrupted development of the saddle-node instability.
