Abstract: In multibody systems, balanced collisions—in which the sliding velocity would not change if friction was negligible—are a generalization of central collisions. For them Newton’s and Poisson’s rules ...

Abstract: The jamb (self-locking) process in single-point three-dimensional rough collisions in multibody systems may lead to a dual compression: a second compression phase develops after an initial ...

Abstract: Single-point rough collisions in multibody systems with perfect constraints, under the assumptions of Coulomb’s friction and infinite tangential stiffness at the collision point, require usually ...

Abstract: Newton’s and Poisson ’s rules are widely used in percussive dynamics because they lead to an “all linear” solution. However, they are in general energetically inconsistent in rough collisions. ...

Abstract: For collisions that can be described by means of Routh’s incremental model, the jamb or self-locking process, which is characterized by a negative slope of the plot of the normal (separating) ...
