Abstract The independent friction restitution closure (IFR) previously applied to describe planar oblique impact of a homogeneous sphere on an infinitely massive rough plane is applied here to microsphere collisions and is extended to describe horizontal launch experiments. The model provides analytical solutions of the motion equations based on a unique set of values of the coefficients of normal and tangential restitution and friction. Comparison with experimental data in literature for the impact of microspheres of diameter
