Buckling of a linear chain of hard spheres in a harmonic confining potential: Numerical and analytical results for low and high compression
Hutzler, Stefan; Weaire, Denis; Mughal, Adil; Irannezhad, Ali; Ryan-Purcell, John (2020)We extend a previous analysis of the buckling properties of a linear chain of hard spheres between hard walls under transverse harmonic confinement. Two regimes are distinguished—low compression, for which the entire chain ... -
Theory of cylindrical dense packings of disks
WEAIRE, DENIS; Mughal, Adil (2014)We have previously explored cylindrical packings of disks and their relation to sphere packings. Here we extend the analytical treatment of disk packings, analyzing the rules for phyllotactic indices of related structures ...
