Effect of lognormal particle size distributions on particle spreading in additive manufacturing by Zhao, Ya, Chew, Jia Wei

“…This discrete element method (DEM) study focusses on the impact of particle polydispersity during the particle spreading process on parameters that affect the quality of the final product, like packing and bed surface roughness. The particle systems include four lognormal particle size distribution (PSD) widths, which are benchmarked against the monodisperse system with the same mean particle diameter. …”

Large-scale model testing of high-pressure grouting reinforcement for bedding slope with rapid-setting polyurethane by Zhang, Zhichao, Tang, Xuefeng, Liu, Kan, Ye, Longzhen, He, Xiang

“…Bedding slope is a typical heterogeneous slope consisting of different soil/rock layers and is likely to slide along the weakest interface. Conventional slope protection methods for bedding slopes, such as retaining walls, stabilizing piles, and anchors, are time-consuming and labor- and energy-intensive. …”
