Abstract
In this paper, we extend the well-known Melnikov method for smooth systems to a class of periodic perturbed piecewise smooth planar system. We assume that the unperturbed system is a piecewise Hamiltonian system which possesses a piecewise smooth homoclinic solution transversally crossing the switching manifold. The Melnikov-type function is explicitly derived by using the Hamiltonian function to measure the distance of the perturbed stable and unstable manifolds. Finally, we apply the obtained results to study the chaotic dynamics of a concrete piecewise smooth system.
