We refer to the proposed TS fuzzy model able to represent a nonsmooth system as a nonsmooth TS fuzzy model.

We mean smooth TS fuzzy model as the typical TS fuzzy model able to approximate smooth nonlinear functions.

The essential part of the proof is similar to the proof presented for nonsliding Filippov systems [21] (DoS of 1). The extended detail of the proof for sliding dynamics including the existence and uniqueness of the solution when there is a rapid switching of sliding motion near the switching manifold is omitted here due to insufficient space.

## Abstract

Dry-friction oscillators are mechanical systems with dry friction and stick-slip vibrations. In the context of control theory, the stability analysis of this type of dynamical systems is important since they exhibit nonsmooth bifurcations, or most famously a sliding–grazing bifurcation inducing abrupt chaos. This paper develops a Lyapunov-based framework to study the so-called structural stability of the system, predicting the onset of such unique bifurcations. To achieve this, the nonlinear system is first represented as a nonsmooth Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model, and the structural stability is then formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMI) feasibility problems with less conservative formulation. Solving the resulting LMI problem, the onset of sliding–grazing bifurcation can be accurately predicted.
