We study experimentally the collision between a sphere falling through a viscous fluid, and a solid plate below. It is known that there is a well-defined threshold Stokes number above which the sphere rebounds from such a collision. Our…
In this paper the normal collision of spherical particles is investigated. The particle interaction is modelled in a macroscopic way using the Hertzian contact force with additional linear damping. The goal of the work is to develop an…
The coefficient of restitution of colliding viscoelastic spheres is analytically known as a complete series expansion in terms of the impact velocity where all (infinitely many) coefficients are known. While beeing analytically exact, this…
In a recent paper an implicit equation for contacting viscoelastic spheres was derived (Brilliantov et al. PRE 53, 5382 (1996)). Integrating this equation it can be shown that the coefficient of normal restitution depends on the impact…
We perform a dimension analysis for colliding viscoelastic spheres to show that the coefficient of normal restitution $\epsilon$ depends on the impact velocity g as \epsilon=1-\gamma_1g^{1/5}+\gamma_2g^{2/5}\mp..., in accordance with recent…
Numerical simulations of the dynamics of an elastic collision between a rigid sphere and an elastic half-space are carried out. We assume an Amontons-Coulomb frictional force with a fixed coefficient of friction between the contacting…
The article proposes an algorithm to model the collision between arbitrary ellipsoids in viscous fluid. It is composed of several steps, each improving upon the standard procedure employed in the current literature. First, an efficient…
We show that two basic mechanical processes, the collision of particles and rolling motion of a sphere on a plane, are intimately related. According to our recent findings, the restitution coefficient for colliding spherical particles…
We numerically investigate head on collisions of isothermal visco-elastic spheres. We find that the restitution coefficient oscillates against the impact speed if the solid viscosity inside the sphere is small enough. We confirm that the…
Group-level behaviour of particles undergoing a velocity jump process with hard-sphere interactions is investigated. We derive $N$-particle transport equations that include the possibility of collisions between particles and apply different…
The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and dynamical phenomena to emerge, making the model an…
Consider two balls with radius $r>0$ whose centers are at a distance $2$, positioned symmetrically with respect to the origin in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$. Suppose that the initial velocities are independent standard normal vectors. When $r\to0$,…
A simple model is outlined to describe the collision of cast phenol-formaldehyde resin spheres such as the balls used in the parlor game of pocket billiards, based in part on the famous analysis of elastic collisions developed by Heinrich…
An experimental formula, sometimes named as Newton-collision-formula, (v1-v2) = - e.(u1-u2) relating relative-velocities before & after impact of two bodies under linear-collision, is commonly used successfully for study of…
The coefficient of normal restitution of colliding viscoelastic spheres is computed as a function of the material properties and the impact velocity. From simple arguments it becomes clear that in a collision of purely repulsively…
In this paper, we investigate collision orbits of two identical bodies placed on the surface of a two-dimensional sphere and interacting via an attracting potential of the form $V(q)=-\cot(q)$, where $q$ is the angle formed by the position…
We propose a model for collisions between particles of a granular material and calculate the restitution coefficients for the normal and tangential motion as functions of the impact velocity from considerations of dissipative viscoelastic…
At a macroscopic level, concepts such as top spin, back spin and rolling are commonly used to describe the collision of balls and surfaces. Each term refers to an aspect of the coupling of rotational motion during the collision of a…
The penetrable-sphere model has been introduced in the literature to describe the peculiar thermodynamic behavior of some colloidal systems. In this model the interaction potential is $\phi(r)=\epsilon>0$ if the two spheres are overlapped…
A set of hard spheres with tangential inelastic collision is found to reproduce observations of real and numerical granular matter. After time is scaled so as to cancel energy dissipation due to inelastic collisions out, inelastically…
