We consider two random sequential packing processes in which spheres of unit radius are randomly attached to the surface of a fixed unit sphere. Independent random spheres are generated and added ...

A NUMERICAL approach using a digital computer has been used to construct a simple model of the unit cell in a randomly packed bed of identical hard spheres. The cell is built up by introducing spheres ...

Imagine placing oranges or tennis balls into a rigid container. How can the balls be arranged such that they occupy the largest volume fraction of the container, otherwise known as the largest packing ...

DURING some work on the tensile strength and cohesion of wet particles, it became necessary to have some knowledge of the number of contacts and near contacts existing in a random packing of equal ...

Researchers show that, unlike the crystalline close packing of spheres, random close packing or jamming of spheres in a container can take place in a broad range of densities and anisotropies.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The distribution of the volume occupied by random spheres in a cube is considered, both when the number of spheres is fixed and when their ...

Liquid bridges: wet packing of disks at 3.1% liquid content. The tomography image on the left is the raw data after noise reduction. The processed image on the right shows the spheres in blue and the ...

Scientists have discovered a way to solve a problem that has baffled humans for so long it is mentioned in the Bible: achieving the most efficient packing of objects such as grains and pharmaceutical ...

University scientists in the chemistry department have made a discovery that refutes a 40-year-old belief about how particles behave in a vessel. Their discovery may offer new insights into the nature ...
