Space-filling bearings in three dimensions
R. Mahmoodi Baram, H. J. Herrmann, N. Rivier
We present the first space-filling bearing in three dimensions. It is shown that a packing which contains only loops with even number of spheres can be constructed in a self-simila…
Self-similar space-filling packings in three dimensions
Reza Mahmoodi Baram, Hans J. Herrmann
We develop an algorithm to construct new self-similar space-filling packings of spheres. Each topologically different configuration is characterized by its own fractal dimension. W…
Simulation of the Sedimentation of a Falling Oblate
Frank Fonseca, Hans J. Herrmann
We present a numerical investigation of the dynamics of one falling oblate ellipsoid particle in a viscous fluid, in three dimensions, using a constrained-force technique \cite{Kai…
Evolution of percolating force chains in compressed granular media
Raul Cruz Hidalgo, Christian U. Grosse, Ferenc Kun +2
The evolution of effective force chains percolating through a compressed granular system is investigated. We performed experiments by compressing an ensemble of spherical particles…
Statistical Laws and Mechanics of Voronoi Random Lattices
K. B. Lauritsen, C. Moukarzel, H. J. Herrmann
We investigate random lattices where the connectivities are determined by the Voronoi construction, while the location of the points are the dynamic degrees of freedom. The Voronoi…
