Aasifa studies the nonlinear dynamical phenomena exhibited by mechanical systems undergoing impacts and friction. These systems are studied under the purview of discontinuity-induced bifurcations which lead to occurrences like chaos, grazing, co-existence, chattering, squeal, intermittency, etc. Such phenomenological behaviours could be consequences of loosening of joints, free-play in gears/aeroelastic systems, rotor-stator rubs, or sticking-slidings at tool-chip interfaces.
