Transitions and singularities during slip motion of rigid bodies
Peter L. Varkonyi
The dynamics of moving solids with unilateral contacts are often modeled by assuming rigidity, point contacts, and Coulomb friction due to the simplicity of these models. The canon…

Imperfections, impacts, and the singularity of Euler's disk
Tamás Baranyai, Péter L. Várkonyi
The motion of a rigid, spinning disk on a flat surface ends with a dissipation-induced finite-time singularity. The problem of finding the dominant energy absorption mechanism duri…

Zeno chattering of rigid bodies with multiple point contacts
Tamás Baranyai, Péter L. Várkonyi
Ideally rigid objects establish sustained contact with one another via complete chatter (a.k.a. Zeno behavior), i.e. an infinite sequence of collisions accumulating in finite time.…
