The so called Restitution Coefficient “e” was defined by Newton and plays a very important role in collision theory and has a value between 0 and 1. When “e” is zero, the collision is called plastic and when it is 1 it is called elastic, resulting in the first case that the vehicles continue together after the crash and in the second that they bounce.

Coefficient of Restitution “e”

摘要

The so called Restitution Coefficient “e” was defined by Newton and plays a very important role in collision theory and has a value between 0 and 1. When “e” is zero, the collision is called plastic and when it is 1 it is called elastic, resulting in the first case that the vehicles continue together after the crash and in the second that they bounce.
