Geometric <strong>Modeling</strong> of a Cylindrical<br />
Part using <strong>Circle</strong> <strong>Packing</strong><br />
� 3. Circular pattern represents a thin disk of depth d, <strong>to</strong>tal<br />
<strong>van</strong> <strong>der</strong> <strong>Waals</strong> interaction is approximately F vdW .<br />
� 4. Define a cylindrical part of length L, where L can be<br />
some multiple of d. L = n*d. Solve for n.<br />
