Theory of distribution skewness effect on polydisperse random close packing
Vinay Vaibhav, Carmine Anzivino, Alessio Zaccone
We investigate the random close packing density, , of polydisperse hard sphere systems using a theoretical framework based on the equilibrium model of crowding. We…
Analytical solution for the polydisperse random close packing problem in 2D
Alessio Zaccone
An analytical theory for the random close packing density, , of polydisperse hard disks is provided using an equilibrium model of crowding [A. Zaccone, Phys. Rev. L…
Reply to W. T. Kranz on "Explicit analytical solution for random close packing in and "
A. Zaccone
A recent Comment by W. T. Kranz is shown to be plagued by a serious mathematical error which makes its conclusions invalid.
Reply to Chen and Ni on "Explicit analytical solution for random close packing in and "
Alessio Zaccone
We show that very clear answers to the queries raised by D. Chen and R. Ni in their Comment on our recent paper [A. Zaccone, Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 028002 (2022)] can be found in ou…
Reply to Morse and Charbonneau on "Explicit analytical solution for random close packing in and "
Alessio Zaccone
A Comment by Morse and Charbonneau shows that our recent analytical solution to the random close packing (RCP) problem is in good agreement with packings data in dimensions b…
