The main aim of the paper is to research dynamic properties of a mechanical system consisting of a ball jumping between a movable baseplate and a fixed upper stop. The model is constructed with one degree of freedom in the mechanical oscillating part. The ball movement is generated by the gravity force and non-harmonic oscillation of the baseplate in the vertical direction. The impact forces acting between the ball and plate and the stop are described by the nonlinear Hertz contact law. The ball motion is then governed by a set of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations. To perform their solving, the Runge-Kutta method of the fourth order with adaptable time step was applied. As the main result, it is shown that the systems exhibit regular, irregular, and chaotic pattern for different choices of parameters using the newly introduced 0-1 test for chaos, detecting bifurcation diagram, and researching Fourier spectra.
