The jamming transition as a paradigm to understand the loss landscape of deep neural networks (2018, background): “[37] Aleksandar Donev, Ibrahim Cisse, David Sachs, Evan A.”
Nanogranular packing of C–S–H at substochiometric conditions (2010, background): “The link between these mechanical C– S–H phase properties and C–S–H packing density has been established, showing that the C–S–H phases exhibit a unique nanogranular morphology [18,23–25], with packing densities that come remarkably close to limit packing densities of spheres; namely the random clos”
Neighbor list collision-driven molecular dynamics simulation for nonspherical hard particles. (2005, methodology): “The first MD studies used the simplest multi-particle system, the hard-sphere fluid/solid [1], which is very rich in behavior.”
The nanogranular nature of C–S–H (2007, background): “In particular, the hardness ratio HHD=HLD 1:8 comes very close to the ratio of contact points: a maximum of 12 points of contacts for the ordered fcc or hcp packing (Sloane, 1998), vs. 6 points of contact for the random packing limit of spheres (Donev et al., 2004).”
The nanogranular nature of shale (2006, background): “The behavior of such highly packed systems has been recently recognized to be governed by the number of particle contacts required to mechanically stabilize the packing [ 7 ].”
