Structure Generation and Analysis from the Loosest to the Densest Random Packings

GW Delaney - EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 - epj-conferences.org
We explore sets of jammed packings of frictional spheres and ellipsoids generated using the
Discrete Element Method. A novel preparation method is presented and analysed, where …

FM Schaller, SC Kapfer, JE Hilton, PW Cleary, K Mecke… - academia.edu
In particulate systems with short-range interactions, such as granular matter or simple fluids,
local structure plays a pivotal role in determining the macroscopic physical properties. Here …

Geometrical and Physical Interpretations of the Properties of Disordered Granular Packings

Disordered granular media composed of non-spherical particles are a recurring feature in
natural systems and one of the most important inputs into industrial activities ranging from …
