Non-Smooth Dynamics and Control of Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy
… a normal form description of the near-grazing dynamics. In addition to the non-smooth vector field, the relative strength of the vector fields on either side of the discontinuity surface is shown to be critical in determining the occurrence of discontinuity-induced isola and branch-point …

Non-smooth dynamics and sensitivity analysis of multibody systems with clearances and friction in differential variational inequality framework
… bodies to undergo a certain misalignment and the dynamics is governed by the contacts thus formed. The conventional formulations of joints as smooth algebraic constraints ignore the effect of clearances. To deal with contacts, and hence clearances, while the popular continuous dynamics approaches …

Optimal Control for Autonomous Motor Behavior
… to continuous domains with contacts, due to the non-smooth dynamics. We present techniques of contact smoothing that enable the use of standard continuous optimization tools. Finally, domains of legged locomotion give rise to extremely non-convex optimization, which is riddled with local minima. …
