Among various non-smooth dynamic systems, the periodically forced oscillation system with impact is perhaps the most common in engineering applications. Usually it has an oscillator with fixed or unfixed stops. The dynamics becomes complicate due to the impact against the stops. Sometimes it leads to bifurcation and even turns to chaos. Its present applications include MEMS switch device, escapement in watch movement and so on. / As a branch of mechanics, the multi-body dynamic system is well-studied. In particular, the non-smooth dynamical system attracts many researchers because of its importance and diversity. The main behaviours of such a system include contact (slip-stick motion), friction and impact. Although various models have been developed for these behaviours and their results are often satisfactory, the truth is that they are still far from completion. In the past twenty some years, various new methods have been developed. However, none of them is universally applicable. One of the difficulties is that there are a number of explicit discontinuities, such as: (a) Coulomb friction gives a discontinuous law for the forces as a function of velocities, and (b) The contact conditions give forces that are not only discontinuous in position, but also unbounded and give rise to discontinuities in the velocities. / This thesis presents a systematic study on the periodically forced oscillation system with impact. Various existing methods are discussed and compared. In particular, impulsive differential equation, Poincare map and perturbation theory are applied. Two practical cases are included: a first-order system and the Swiss lever escapement mechanism. The latter has significant engineering value as the Swiss level escapement is the key component of mechanical watch movement. The precision dynamic model has very high numerical accuracy in describing/predicting their dynamics. The research helps to optimize the design of a commercial product. The model is validated by means of experiment. / Fu, Yu. / Adviser: Du Ruxu. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-06, Section: B, page: 3745. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 137-142). / Electronic reproduction.
