Title: A statistical theory for jammed anisotropic objects
Abstract:
Random packings of elongated anisotropic objects can reach higher packing fractions than 64%, which is the random close packing fraction of spheres. The behaviour of the packing fraction as a function of the objects' aspect ratio is usually non-monotonic and exhibits a peak at an aspect ratio of around 1.3/1.4. In this talk I present a theory for jammed anisotropic objects based on a statistical description of the Voronoi volume. Results for dimer-shaped objects are discussed
