    • Algebraic Solution To The Planar Rigid Body Impact Problem 

      Morgan, Drew (Mechanical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
      For systems of rigid bodies that undergo impacts, a series of closed-form equations are developed to solve for post-impact velocities which simulate a real-world (energy-consistent) interaction. The analysis is based in ...
