Dense regular packings of irregular nonconvex particles.
We present a new numerical scheme to study systems of nonconvex, irregular, and punctured particles in an efficient manner. We employ this method to analyze regular packings of odd-shaped bodies, both from a nanoparticle and from a computational geometry perspective. Besides determining close-packed structures for 17 irregular shapes, we confirm several conjectures for the packings of a large s...
متن کاملDense Crystalline Dimer Packings of Regular Tetrahedra
We present the densest known packing of regular tetrahedra with density φ = 4000 4671 = 0.856347 . . . . Like the recently discovered packings of Kallus et al. and Torquato–Jiao, our packing is crystalline with a unit cell of four tetrahedra forming two triangular dipyramids (dimer clusters). We show that our packing has maximal density within a three-parameter family of dimer packings. Numeric...
متن کاملRegular Sphere Packings
A collection of non-overlapping spheres in the space is called a packing. Two spheres are said to be neighbours if they have a boundary point in common. A packing is called k-regular if each sphere has exactly k neighbours. We are concerned with the following question. What is the minimum number of not necessarily congruent spheres which may form a k-regular packing? In general, for which natur...
متن کاملDense periodic packings of tori.
Dense packings of nonoverlapping bodies in three-dimensional Euclidean space R(3) are useful models of the structure of a variety of many-particle systems that arise in the physical and biological sciences. Here we investigate the packing behavior of congruent ring tori in R(3), which are multiply connected nonconvex bodies of genus 1, as well as horn and spindle tori. Specifically, we analytic...
متن کاملProducing dense packings of cubes
In this paper we consider the problem of packing a set of d-dimensional congruent cubes into a sphere of smallest radius. We describe and investigate an approach based on a function called the maximal inflation function. In the three-dimensional case, we localize the contact between two inflated cubes and we thus improve the efficiency of calculating . This approach and a stochastic algorithm a...
