Percolation of Hard Disks
نویسنده
چکیده
Random arrangements of points in the plane, interacting only through a simple hardcore exclusion, are considered. An intensity parameter controls the average density of arrangements, in analogy with the Poisson point process. It is proved that, at high intensity, an infinite connected cluster of excluded volume appears almost surely.

Entropic elasticity of two-dimensional self-avoiding percolation systems
The sol-gel transition is studied on a purely entropic two-dimensional model system consisting of hard spheres (disks) in which a fraction p of neighbors are tethered by inextensible bonds. We use a new method to measure directly the elastic properties of the system. We find that over a broad range of hard sphere diameters a the rigidity threshold is insensitive to a and indistinguishable from ...
متن کاملGranular collapse as a percolation transition.
Inelastic collapse is found in a two-dimensional system of inelastic hard disks confined between two walls which act as an energy source. As the coefficient of restitution is lowered, there is a transition between a state containing small collapsed clusters and a state dominated by a large collapsed cluster. The transition is analogous to that of a percolation transition. At the transition the ...
متن کاملPercolation for a model of statistically inhomogeneous random media
We study clustering and percolation phenomena for a model of statistically inhomogeneous two-phase random media, including functionally graded materials. This model consists of inhomogeneous fully penetrable ~Poisson distributed! disks and can be constructed for any specified variation of volume fraction. We quantify the transition zone in the model, defined by the frontier of the cluster of di...
متن کاملComputational prediction of electrical and thermal conductivities of disklike particulate composites
The effective conductivities are determined for randomly oriented disklike particles using an efficient computational algorithm based on the finite element method. The pairwise intersection criteria of disks are developed using a set of vector operations. An element partition scheme has been implemented to connect the elements on different disks across the lines of intersection. The computed co...
متن کاملOn Simultaneous Percolation with Two Disk Types
In this paper we consider the simultaneous percolation of two Gilbert disk models. The two models are connected through excluding disks, which prevent elements of the second model to be in the vicinity of the first model. Under these assumptions we characterize the region of densities in which the two models both have a unique infinite connected component. The motivation for this work is the co...
