Description
The wide range of information currently available on the packing of particles is brought together in this monograph. It has been two decades since a book on the subject has been published, so the need to review and extend what has already been done was badly needed. The approach adopted throughout the text is a systematic one, starting with an introductory chapter describing some early work in the field and the types of packing which occur in nature. This is followed by a chapter on the packing of finite areas with circles. After this two-dimensional case, there is a chapter on the three-dimensional situation where a volume is packed with spheres. Initially, mono-size spheres are considered and then the complexity increases with binary, ternary, quaternary, quinary and, eventually, n-component systems. There then follows a chapter on practical considerations in particle packing and this includes some observations on future developments in this area using, for example, computer simulation. The book will be of value to engineers and scientists who have an interest in the way particles can pack, particularly those concerned with the densification of a powder mass.
