Abstract
A grazing bifurcation is the bifurcation that takes place as a mechani cal oscillator system evolves smoothly from a nonimpacting to an impac ting state. This Letter summarizes different types of universal behavi or associated with grazing bifurcations by consideration of a simple s inusoidally forced system.
