Dense random packings of hard particles are useful models of granular media and are closely related to the structure of nonequilibrium low-temperature amorphous phases of matter. Most work has been done for random jammed packings of…
Packing problems, even of objects with regular geometries, are in general non-trivial. For few special shapes, the features of crystalline as well as random, irregular two-dimensional (2D) packings are known. The packing of 2D crosses does…
