Dynamic Model of Elastoplastic Normal Collision of a Spherical Particle with a Half-Space with Allowance for Adhesion Interaction in a Contact Zone

Resumo

The problem of a collision of a spherical homogeneous particle with a half-space is solved numerically. The coefficient of the normal velocity restitution is calculated as a function of the initial velocity in the presence of the mechanical energy dissipation due to plastic deformations and adhesion interaction between the surfaces of contacting bodies. The strain hardening effect is taken into account using the criterion of nonlocal plasticity introduced before. The study is carried out in dimensionless parameters, which makes it universal. The analytical expression is found for the critical initial velocity above which a plastic deformation starts. The simulation results agree well with the available experimental data.
