A team of researchers at the University of Michigan has used computational and analytical analysis to find the maximum packing density of 55,000 uniquely shaped particles. In their paper published in ...

IN connexion with Bernal's theory of liquids, Scott 1 has determined the packing density of equal spheres by experiments with steel balls. In this laboratory we were interested in the dense random ...

Particles of soot floating through the air and comets hurtling through space have at least one thing in common: 0.36. That, reports a research group, is the measure of how dense they will get under ...

Imagine placing oranges or tennis balls into a rigid container. How can the balls be arranged such that they occupy the largest volume fraction of the container, otherwise known as the largest packing ...

MR. S. E. ACKERMANN'S axiom 1 that spherical lumps of coal of equal size have the same bulk density irrespective of the actual size is surely applicable to any symmetrical arrangement of such spheres, ...
