Random close packing fractions of lognormal distributions of hard spheres
Robert S. Farr
We apply a recent one-dimensional algorithm for predicting random close packing fractions of polydisperse hard spheres [Farr and Groot, J. Chem. Phys. 133, 244104 (2009)] to the ca…

Fractal space frames and metamaterials for high mechanical efficiency
R. S. Farr, Y. Mao
A solid slender beam of length , made from a material of Young's modulus and subject to a gentle compressive force , requires a volume of material proportional to $L^{3}f…

Sintering behavior of two roughened crystals just after contact
R. S. Farr, M. J. Izzard
We consider two spherical, roughened crystals with approximately isotropic surface free energy which are brought into contact and begin to sinter. We argue that the geometry immedi…
