Restitution properties in direct central collision of three inelastic spheres

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the micromechanical processes during impact as well as the related macro-mechanical restitution properties in a three body multiple impact system. Thereby, the microscale refers to the detailed processes during impact, while the macroscale refers to the ov...

In the numerical simulation, finite element analyses are performed, where the material properties obtained from static and dynamic compression tests are used. In order to confirm the validity of the numerical model, the results from the finite element analyses are compared to the experimental results and show good agreement. Afterwards, micromechanical investigations of the impact processes are performed using finite element analysis.
