Contact and Quasi-Static Impact of a Dissipationless Mechanical Model
arXiv:cond-mat/0504770 · doi:10.1143/JPSJ.75.074001
Abstract
Collisions and contacts of elastic materials are numerically and theoretically investigated. Using a two-dimensional spring-mass model with defect particles under the free boundary condition, we reproduce the Hertzian contact theory at equilibrium and the quasi-static theory for low speed impacts.
