Abstract

As in Paoli (Arch Rational Mech Anal, 2010), we consider a discrete mechanical system with a non-trivial mass matrix subjected to perfect unilateral constraints described by geometrical inequalities \({f_{\alpha}(q) \geqq 0, \alpha \in \{1, \ldots, \nu \}\, (\nu \geqq 1)}\), but we assume now that the transmission of the velocities at impacts is governed by Newton’s Law with a coefficient of restitution \({e \in (0, 1]}\) (so that the impact is partially elastic). We generalize the time-discretization of the second order differential inclusion describing the dynamics proposed in Paoli (Arch Rational Mech Anal, 2010) to this case and, once again, we prove its convergence.
