Dynamics Of Elastic Impact Oscillators

Impact oscillator is an important model of nonsmooth dynamical system. In this article, we study the dynamics of elastic imapact oscillators. We will consider the asymptotically linear oscillator and study it in two parts: the existence of periodic bouncing solutions; the Lagrange stability of impact motion.In order to prove the existence of the periodic boucing solutions, firstly we will introduce a new coordinate transformation, transform the system from right half plane to the whole plane. And give the relation of the eigenvalues of Hill's equation and the rotation numbers, using this approach and Pioncar -Birkhoff twist theorem, we proved the existence of the periodic bouncing solutions for asymptotical linear oscillator.In the study of the Lagrange stability of impact motion, we give some conditions of the bouncing solution of the asymptotically linear equation which is bounded or unbounded. Outside of a large disc, using the symplectic transformation of the Hamilton system to estimate the iteration of the successor map. Applying the Moser's small twist theorem, we get the invariant curves and then give the proof of the bouncing solutions which is bounded. We will estimate the successor map of the equation directly for proving the unboundedness of the bouncing solutions.
