Robust Algorithm to Generate a Diverse Class of Dense Disordered and Ordered Sphere Packings via Linear Programming
Sal Torquato, Yang Jiao
We have formulated the problem of generating periodic dense paritcle packings as an optimization problem called the Adaptive Shrinking Cell (ASC) formulation [S. Torquato and Y. Ji…
Geometrical Ambiguity of Pair Statistics. II. Heterogeneous Media
Yang Jiao, Frank H. Stillinger, Sal Torquato
In a previous paper [Jiao, Stillinger and Torquato, PRE 81, 011105 (2010)], we considered the geometrical ambiguity of pair statistics associated with point configurations. Here we…
Exact Constructions of a Family of Dense Periodic Packings of Tetrahedra
S. Torquato, Y. Jiao
The determination of the densest packings of regular tetrahedra (one of the five Platonic solids) is attracting great attention as evidenced by the rapid pace at which packing reco…
Novel Features Arising in the Maximally Random Jammed Packings of Superballs
Y. Jiao, F. H. Stillinger, S. Torquato
Dense random packings of hard particles are useful models of granular media and are closely related to the structure of nonequilibrium low-temperature amorphous phases of matter. M…
