Unifying size-topology relations in random packings of dry adhesive polydisperse spheres

Wenwei Liu, Sheng Chen, Chuan-yu Wu +1

We study the size-topology relations in random packings of dry adhesive polydisperse microspheres with Gaussian and lognormal size distributions through a geometric tessellation. W…

A fast adhesive discrete element method for random packings of fine particles

Sheng Chen, Wenwei Liu, Shuiqing Li

Introducing a reduced particle stiffness in discrete element method (DEM) allows for bigger time steps and therefore fewer total iterations in a simulation. Although this approach…

Equation of state for random sphere packing with arbitrary adhesion and friction

Wenwei Liu, Yuliang Jin, Sheng Chen +2

We systematically generate a large set of random micro-particle packings over a wide range of adhesion and friction by means of adhesive contact dynamics simulation. The ensemble o…

Computer simulation of random loose packings of micro-particles in presence of adhesion and friction

Wenwei Liu, Shuiqing Li, Sheng Chen

With a novel 3D discrete-element method specially developed with adhesive contact mechanics, random loose packings of uniform spherical micron-sized particles are fully investigate…
