Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to present various multiple impact laws which have been proposed in the literature, and which mainly belong to rigid body impact models (also known as kinematic impact laws). The reachable post-impact velocity domains are studied in detail for each law, using the 3-ball chain as an example. We start showing the limitations of the Newton’s and Poisson’s collision rules when extended to multiple impacts, and then present in detail several collision laws. Coulomb’s friction is not considered, i.e. only frictionless multiple impact laws are presented.
