Numerical study on the response scenarios in a vibro-impact single-degree-of-freedom oscillator with two unilateral dissipative and deformable constraints

In this paper, some of the scenarios that can occur in the numerical nonlinear non-smooth response of a vibro-impact single-degree-of-freedom system, symmetrically constrained by deformable and dissipative bumpers, were identified and described. The different scenarios, obtained varying selected dimensionless parameters, were investigated identifying homogeneous frequency intervals, characterized by similar features in terms of number and types...
