The experimental data about the variation of the <strong>coefficients</strong> with the <strong>impact</strong><br />
velocity and angle are presented <strong>in</strong> Figs. 5, 6 and 7. For composite materials the<br />
coefficient of restitution decreases slightly when the <strong>impact</strong> angle <strong>in</strong>creases.<br />
Much lower rebound effect is observed when a more plastic material (steel) is<br />
