Chaos in impact oscillators not in vain: Dynamics of new mass excited oscillator

This work explores complex dynamics of a new mass excited impact oscillator reported in Wiercigroch et al. (Nonlinear Dyn 99:323–339, 2020) both experimentally and numerically in the context of development of chaos theory and its applications. The parameters of the rig were characterised and are presented in the paper. To improve quality of the recorded phase portraits, a new technique for processing of the experimental data allowing to reduce...
