Abstract :
This paper presents a nonlinear model to describe the dynamical effects on flexible bodies when they are undergoing impact with each other. The main aim is to develop approximations that can be used to predict the magnitude and duration of impact, and the force profile during the impact period. Two ordinary differential equations are shown to play a central role in this problem.
