    - Coefficient of restitution is defined as the ratio of impulse during restoration period to impulse during deformation period.

    - Coefficient of restitution for plastic impact is zero.

    - Coefficient of restitution for semi-elastic impact is between 0 < e < 1

    - Coefficient of restitution for perfectly elastic impact is one.
