Abstract: In single degreeoffreedom (DOF) oscillators, impacts can occur with a barrier while in a system with multiple DOF, one can additionally observe impacts among interacting bodies. On the one hand, impacts are intrinsic for ...

Abstract: In this paper, we perform a path-following bifurcation analysis of church bell to gain an insight into the governing dynamics of the yoke–bell–clapper system. We use an experimentally validated hybrid dynamical model based ...
