Random Heterogeneous Materials: Microstructure and Macroscopic Properties
Salvatore Torquato,HW Haslach +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a unified approach for the characterization of 2-dimensional (2-3D) moduli is presented. But the approach is not suitable for 3-dimensional moduli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is random close packing of spheres well defined
TL;DR: It is argued that the current picture of RCP cannot be made mathematically precise and support this conclusion via a molecular dynamics study of hard spheres using the Lubachevsky-Stillinger compression algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the Density of Jammed Disordered Packings Using Ellipsoids
Aleksandar Donev,Ibrahim I Cisse,Ibrahim I Cisse,David Sachs,Evan A. Variano,Evan A. Variano,Frank H. Stillinger,Robert Connelly,Salvatore Torquato,Paul Chaikin +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown experimentally and with a new simulation algorithm that ellipsoids can randomly pack more densely and suggested that the higher density is directly related to the higher number of degrees of freedom per particle and thus the larger number of particle contacts required to mechanically stabilize the packing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of materials with extreme thermal expansion using a three-phase topology optimization method
Ole Sigmund,Salvatore Torquato +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a three-phase topology optimization method was proposed to find the distribution of material phases that optimizes an objective function (e.g. thermoelastic properties) subject to certain constraints, such as elastic symmetry or volume fractions of the constituent phases, within a periodic base cell.
