The Poincare mapping and the corresponding mapping sections for global motions in a linear system possessing a dead-zone restoring force are developed through the switching planes pertaining to the two constraints. The global periodic motions based on the Poincare mapping are determined, and the analysis for the stability and bifurcation of periodic motion is carried out. From the global periodic motions, the global chaos in such a system is investigated numerically. The bifurcation scenario with varying parameters was presented. The mapping structures of periodic and chaotic motions are discussed. The Poincare mapping sections for global chaos are given for illustration. The grazing phenomenon embedded in chaotic motion is observed.
