Measurements of the coefficient of restitution have been made for the impact of steel balls on plates of glass and plastics. The times of contact have also been measured. The coefficient of restitution is found to be a function of the size of the specimen as well as of its elastic and anelastic properties. The variation in the value of the coefficient with the thickness of the specimen is in agreement with the theoretical variation derived by Zener. The value of the method of rebounding balls for an investigation of the anelastic properties of materials is discussed.
