Abstract

The coefficient of normal restitution (COR) in an oblique impact is theoretically studied. Using a two-dimensional lattice models for an elastic disk and an elastic wall, we investigate the dependency of COR on an incident angle and demonstrate that COR can exceed one and have a peak against an incident angle in our simulation. Finally, we explain these phenomena based upon the phenomenological theory of elasticity.
