Abstract

We analyze the problem of an elastic sphere impacting against another elastic body for the case when adhesive forces act between the bodies. Depending on the parameter describing the (relative) influence of the adhesive forces, the bodies will either separate or continue to be in contact and perform an oscillatory motion after the rebound. The value of the adhesive forces parameter defining separation and capture is calculated.
