Abstract
Dry friction induces unexpected dynamical behaviour, causing distinct trajectories to collapse onto a single point in finite time. The result is that transversal homoclinic orbits generate chaotic saddles with forward dynamics that is qualitatively different from the backward dynamics. The space of initial conditions converging to the chaotic saddle is fractal, but the set of points diverging from it is not: friction destroys the complexity of the forward dynamics by generating a unique horseshoe-like topology.
