Collision Dynamics

Collision Dynamics is a theoretical framework within multibody system mechanics that models the instantaneous, momentum-conserving interactions between rigid or deformable bodies during physical contact, specifically distinguishing itself by its focus on impulsive forces, energy dissipation, and post-impact velocity changes in human-scale articulated systems.
