✦ Synopsis

A methodology for the local singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems is systematically presented in this paper, and a periodically forced, piecewise linear system is investigated as a sample problem to demonstrate the methodology. The sliding dynamics along the separation boundary are investigated through the differential inclusion theory. For this sample problem, a perturbation method is introduced to determine the singularity of the sliding dynamics on the separation boundary. The criteria for grazing bifurcation are presented mathematically and numerically. The grazing flows are illustrated numerically. This methodology can be very easily applied to predict grazing motions in other non-smooth dynamical systems. The fragmentation of the strange attractors of chaotic motion will be presented in the second part of this work.

A critical phenomenon in a continuous, piecewise-linear oscillator subjected to periodic excitation is considered, in which a periodic orbit happens to graze a switching plane between two linear regions of the oscillator at zero velocity. The analysis shows that if the piecewise linearity of the osc
