Multi-contact Systems

Multi-Contact Systems is a dynamical system model in contact dynamics that specifically accounts for the simultaneous interaction of multiple discrete contact points between bodies, distinguishing it from single-contact models by its ability to represent complex, distributed mechanical interactions involving friction, impact, and constraint forces across several concurrent contacts.
