Gravity effects in mass-spring-damper models of inelastic collisions

SP Bartz - European Journal of Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A ball bouncing on a rigid surface is modeled as a mass-spring-damper system. We
consider the effect of including or neglecting the force of gravity, extending previous work …

Coefficient of restitution of a linear dashpot on a rigid surface

SP Bartz - arXiv preprint arXiv:2204.10917, 2022 - arxiv.org
The linear dashpot model is applied to a single ball bouncing on a rigid surface. It is shown
that when gravity is included the coefficient of restitution depends on impact velocity, in …
