This paper presents an isotropic kinetics-independent algorithm for random close packing (RCP) of equisized spheres with triply periodic boundaries. The algorithm provides a perfect contact network with the average coordination number six (for particle number \(N \geq 1\)) and a system of normal reactions between the spheres maintaining the structure and prohibiting further densification. Though the algorithm needs a relatively long computation time, it reproduces the experimental packing density (about 0.637).
