We study a class of discontinuous vector fields brought to our attention by multilegged animal locomotion. Such vector fields arise not only in biomechanics, but also in robotics, neuroscience, and electrical engineering, to name a few domains of application. Under the conditions that (i) the vector field's discontinuities are locally confined to a finite number of smooth submanifolds and (ii) the vector field is transverse to these surfaces in an appropriate sense, it is known that the vector field yields a well--defined flow that is Lipschitz continuous. We extend these results by showing this flow is piecewise--differentiable, so that it admits a first--order approximation (known as a Bouligand derivative) that is piecewise--linear and continuous at every point. We exploit this first--order approximation to infer existence of piecewise--differentiable impact maps (including Poincare maps for periodic orbits), show that the flow is locally conjugate (via a piecewise--differentiable homeomorphism) to a f...
