dc.descriptionThe three dimensional structure of large packings of monosized spheres with volume fractions ranging between 0.58 and 0.64 has been studied with X-ray Computed Tomography. We search for signatures of organization, we classify local arrangements and we explore the effects of local geometrical constrains on the global packing. This study is the largest and the most accurate empirical analysis of disordered packings at the grain-scale to date with over 140,000 sphere coordinates mapped. We discuss topological and geometrical ways to characterize and classify these systems, and discuss implications that local geometry can have on the mechanisms of formation of these amorphous structures.
