A Restitution Model of Two-car Collinear Collisions

  • Milan Batista
  • Goran Zovak

Abstract

In the paper two-car collinear collisions are discussed usingNewton's law of mechanics, conservation of energy and linearconstitutive law connecting impact force and crush. Two waysof calculating the mutual restitution coefficient are given: onebased on car masses and one based on car stiffness. A numericalexample of an actual test is provided.
