Positions of the fractures are unknown

Collision of a point and a fixed plane

The system {Point U Plane} is deformable

Velocity of defomation:

The relative velocity of the point with respect to the plane

We assume collisions are instantaneous

Virtual work of the acceleration force

Actual work

The internal force is defined by its virtual work:

A linear function of the velocity of deformation

Virtual work of the exterior force

Principle of virtual work gives the equation of motion

Constitutive law is needed for the internal percussion

Second law of thermodynamics

Experiments give the answer

or the Coulomb’s constitutive law in agreement with experiments

The first law of thermodynamics?The temperature is discontinuous

The theory answers the question,

Does a warm rain droplet turns into ice when falling on a deeply frozen soil?

Properties

Existence and uniqueness of solution

Easy numerical method to find the solution

The predictive theory accounts for the physical properties of multiple collisions

Few parameters, identifiable with simple experiments

3D Examples

Carreau effect: before collision, ball 1 angular velocity = [0,-10,0], linear velocity = [0.5,0,-1]
