Packing of Polyhedral particles
We measured the random packing fraction of the Platonic solids, and imaged the packing with newly acquired x-ray CT machine at Clark. Related paper - Maximum and minimum stable random packings of Platonic solids, J. Baker and A. Kudrolli, Phys. Rev. E 82, 061304 (2010). A recommendation and commentary by Salvatore Torquato, Princeton University on the preprint can be found in the Journal Club of Condensed Matter Physics. Link. Internal image of a tetrahedron packing obtained with x-ray Computer Tomography imaging technique. Vikrant Yadav, Jessica Baker and Arshad Kudrolli contributed to this webpage. |
