Figure 6: Grain-scale tetrahedral and octahedral formation/deformation scenarios.
From: Pore configuration landscape of granular crystallization
(a) PD2 of a partially crystallized sphere packing with density φ=0.685. The superimposed curves correspond to analytically computed birth–death curves of the deformation scenarios shown in panels (b,c). (b) Top and side views of D1 and D2 deformations scenarios of a tetrahedral cavity. (c) Top and side views of D3 and D4 deformation scenarios of an octahedral cavity. The colour code indicates the relative height of sections of the grain with respect to the horizontal median plane.
