Abstract

This report investigates various aspects of modelling a composite material using randomly packed cylinders in 3d space. In particular it considers: simulating configurations of non-intersecting cylinders; generating weighted networks from such simulations, including calculation of minimal cylinder separation distances; estimating the conductance or resistivity of such a network. This is based on work carried out during the ESGI165 Study Group at Durham University, April 2021.
