Impact dynamics of a constrained mass-spring-damper system

This paper discusses the vibration of a mass-spring-damper system with two constraints and impact interactions. Impacting chatter and stuck phenomena are investigated for the mass with constraints and the corresponding conditions for such phenomena are determined. Analytical predictions are presented for the system to give a more precise and complete demonstration of the phenomena in the system. From these conditions, numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the phenomena in the system.
