Abstract: We consider two linearly coupled masses, where one mass can have inelastic impacts with a fixed, rigid stop. This leads to the study of a two degree of freedom, piecewise linear, frictionless, unforced, constrained mechanical system. The system is governed by three types of dynamics: coupled harmonic oscillation, simple harmonic motion and discrete rebounds. Energy is dissipated discontinuously in discrete amounts, through impacts with the stop. We prove the existence of a nonzero measure set of orbits that lead to infinite impacts with the stop in a finite time. We show how to modify the mathematical model so that forward existence and uniqueness of solutions for all time is guaranteed. Existence of hybrid periodic orbits is shown. A geometrical interpretation of the dynamics based on action coordinates is used to visualize numerical simulation results for the asymptotic dynamics.
