Let' say two steel or rubber disks hit each other
moving on friction-free surface.
During the interaction, both disks deform elastically.
My question is, does part of deforming energy
gets converted to heat ?
Why not ? Why this effect is never mentioned ? Is it negligible ?
I know from experience that if I bend steel wire, it heats in the place where it's bent.
Thanks
