Abstract

DURING some work on the tensile strength and cohesion of wet particles, it became necessary to have some knowledge of the number of contacts and near contacts existing in a random packing of equal spheres. The range of centre to centre separations from 1.0 to 1.3 diameters was of particular interest to this work because experimental results had shown that liquid bridges existing between spheres separated by these distances were likely to play a major part in the cohesion of a wet bed of spheres1.
