Simulation of disordered systems of cylinders. I. geometrical behaviour

S. Roux , D. Stauffer , H.J. Herrmann

We discuss the piling of parallel cylinders with weakly fluctuating radii. The network of contacts consists of self-similar tree-like patterns. The mean expansion of the piling and the distribution of distances between adjacent cylinders are also investigated.
