Abstract
A new approach using random triclinic primitive cells as the building blocks for three dimensional random packings is suggested. This can be used to investigate the geometric properties of random packings which are useful in sintering studies and in the study of structure of liquids and metallic glasses. This approach has been used here, to calculate the expected packing factors for two dimensional random arrays of equal sized circles and three dimensional loose and dense random packing of monosized spheres. The packing factors obtained in all cases are in excellent agreement with the values obtained experimentally, both by mechanical means and by computer simulation.
