Dynamical behavior of a nonsmooth master system which is coupled to a nonsmooth Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) during free and forced oscillations is studied analytically and numerically. Invariant manifolds of the system and their stable zones at different time scales are revealed and finally application of coupled nonsmooth NES to the passive control process of the main nonsmooth system is highlighted.
