Coefficient Of Restitution
This chapter derives the coefficient of restitution from the interaction forces. It shows that the coefficient is not a material constant but rather depends on impact velocity. An analytic expression for the coefficient of restitution of viscoelastic spheres is derived.
Keywords: coefficient of restitution, interaction forces, impact velocity, viscoelastic spheres
