Summary

—
remarks
on the
general
case
of
an
arbitrary
rebound
velocity
All
these results
are
brought together
in
Table 5.5,
One can
note that:
- the
maximum displacements required
in the
case
of
impulse
and the
case
of
impact
without rebound
are
equal;
-the maximum displacement
in the
case
of a
100% rebound velocity
is
smaller
by
a
factor
TC;
the
energy spent
by the
corresponding shock machine
will
thus
be
smaller [WHI].
