Abstract
Geometrical features of random packed structure of spheres are investigated by means of regarding the structure as packing of tetrahedra and octahedra. Connectivity of these polyhedra and a condition for packing in Euclidean space give numbers of noncrystal1ine ring clusters as a function of deviation from the crystalline case of the ratio of the number of tetrahedra to that of octahedra. The noncrystalline rings are not distributed at random, but array along lines. Voronoi polyhedra for the structure have the same statistics as those of a computer-simulated dense random packing model.
