If the container in which a regular packed structure of spheres has formed is vigorously shaken to raise the spheres above the matrix, the packing structure will no longer be ordered after the spheres settle. This fact shows how necessary it is to regulate the loading and account for the relaxation time of a particular system. These results open up the real possibility of obtaining regularly packed granular beds within industrial reactors. Depending on the practical problem to be solved, the close-packed planes of a packing can be assigned different spatial orientations. Definite specifications for shape and particle strength, particle size distribution, container geometry, and loading conditions can be proposed.
