Abstract

The forced dynamics of non-smooth oscillators have not yet been sufficiently investigated, when damping is simultaneously due to friction and impact. Because of the theoretical and practical interest of this type of systems, an effort is made in this paper to lighten the behaviour of a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator colliding with a hysteretic obstacle and excited by an harmonic driving force and by a moving base with constant velocity.

A friction-contact model has been proposed which allows simulating an exponential velocity-dependent friction law, and a deformable (hysteretic) obstacle. This model has been numerically tested via a sample application.
