Controllable Systems with Impacts

Control problems in dynamic systems allowing pulse forces due to the presence of unilateral active constraints are considered. This paper gives an analysis of controls used during impact interactions. A new kind of pulse controls arising at the time of impact is introduced. These problems are typical for the so-called vibroimpact systems with numerous applications, whose number is constantly increasing in recent years. The goal of the paper is to describe the phase of a controllable impact and to determine the constraint reactions.
