Abstract
This paper provides new insight into the dynamical response of an impa cting driven beam. A simple mathematical model utilising a coefficient of restitution rule captures qualitative (and limited quantitative) b ehaviour of an experimental apparatus allowing the parameter space to be divided into zones according to their behaviour type. Emphasis is d irected towards identifying the zones which separate regular period-1 impacting solutions from irregular, apparently chaotic, impacting and non-impacting motions.
