Structural dynamics

a bifurcation in impacting systems that occurs when a periodic orbit just touches the impact boundary with zero velocity, often leading to chaos.

In structural dynamics, grazing bifurcation refers to a bifurcation in impacting systems that occurs when a periodic orbit just touches the impact boundary with zero velocity, often leading to chaos. This meaning comes from Nordmark (1991) in Journal of Sound and Vibration.[1]
