Collision Between Rigid Bodies — Comparing Some Models

Propagation of uncertainties and multimodality in the impact problem of two elastic bodies

“…The greatest uncertainty in the collision is the type of collision, if frontal or not. If it is not frontal, the situation would be much more complex as one can see in [13,7]. It is also important to remark that a rigid collision is completely different from a elastic collision or from a plastic collision.…”

“…The interest in collision problems is quite old [3]. Some articles deal with rigid-body collisions [4][5][6][7], discrete systems [8], and continuous systems [9,10]. The reader may refer to some books that address the collision problem e.g.…”
