Abstract
This paper deals with the impact behavior of elastic pseudo-rigid bodies. It is shown that in the case of a spherically symmetric, linearly elastic pseudo-rigid body impacting on a rigid foundation, energy conservation necessitates the existence of multiple impact events. A comparison is made with the dynamic Hertzian theory in terms of the coefficient of restitution and the duration of impact. In addition, the chaotic nature of the long-term dynamics of this system is explored qualitatively.
