Scientists at the theoretical institutes, Chinese Academy of Science and Cybermedia Center at Osaka University performed extensive computer simulations to generate and examine random packing of ...

Sphere packing, a mathematical problem in which non-overlapping spheres are arranged within a given space, has been widely investigated in the past. It has been proven that the densest possible ...

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 ...

EXTENSIVE investigations 1 have been carried out on the packing and subsequent stability of randomly packed beds of equal, rigid spheres. It was of specific interest, therefore, to obtain precise ...
