The bifurcations of dynamical systems, described by a second-order differential equation with periodic coefficients and an impact condition, are investigated. It is shown that a continuous change in the coefficients of the system, during which the number of impacts of the periodic solution increases, leads to the occurrence of a chaotic invariant set.
