We consider three rigid balls moving on a plane and investigate their multiple collisions (i.e., the three balls collide at the same time). This is a 3D problem because balls may jump. We develop a predictive theory based on the idea that the system made of three balls and a plane is deformable. As shown by the examples, the theory accounts for the physical properties of multiple collisions and its main feature is the presence of non local interactions.

Abstract
We consider three rigid balls moving on a plane and investigate their multiple collisions (i.e., the three balls collide at the same time). This is a 3D problem because balls may jump. We develop a predictive theory based on the idea that the system made of three balls and a plane is deformable. As shown by the examples, the theory accounts for the physical properties of multiple collisions and its main feature is the presence of non local interactions.File in questo prodotto:
