Abstract
- Random packing of tetrahedral particles was simulated using discrete element method.
- Effects of tetrahedron shape and sliding friction were taken into account in the model.
- DEM simulated packing densities were compared to results of geometry-based algorithm.
- DEM predicted much lower packing densities, indicating importance of mechanical forces in packing.
