Transmitting Force through a Tube Filled with Spheres and Spacers
Transmitting Force through a Tube Filled with Spheres and Spacers
This Demonstration examines a model for force transmitted through a cylindrical tube filled with an arrangement of spheres and cylindrical spacers. We consider the densest packing of spheres with unit diameter in a linear tubing of inner diameter ≥.

sphere
Force transmission is opposed by friction proportional to contact force between the tube and spheres.
