Impulsively coupled systems are high-dimensional non-smooth systems that can exhibit rich and complex dynamics. This paper studies the complex dynamics of a non-smooth system which is unidirectionally impulsively coupled by three Duffing oscillators in a ring structure. By constructing a proper Poincaré map of the non-smooth system, an analytical expression of the Jacobian matrix of Poincaré map is given. Two-parameter Hopf bifurcation sets are obtained by combining the shooting method and the Runge-Kutta method. When the period is fixed and the coupling strength changes, the system undergoes stable, periodic, quasi-periodic, and hyper-chaotic solutions, etc. Floquet theory is used to study the stability of the periodic solutions of the system and their bifurcations.

The dynamical behavior of an extended Duffing-Van der Pol oscillator is investigated numerically. With increase of the frequency, the system exhibits variety of dynamical behaviors including invariant cycle, period-doubling bifurcation to chaos cascades, strange attractor, transient chaos, interior crisis and boundary crisis.
