Abstract
We examine the bifurcations of a piecewise smooth map that captures th e universal properties of impact oscillators near grazing. In particul ar, we study periodic orbits with one impact per period and the way th ey are involved in the grazing bifurcations. We also show some phenome na that these orbits exhibit at grazing for some families of parameter values.
