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

“…The results reveal that: (i) the solid volume fraction of the initial packed particle bed in the delivery chamber increases then plateaus as the PSD width increases; (ii) regardless of PSD width, the solid volume fraction of the particle bed increases with spreading layer height before compression, but decreases with layer height after compression; (iii) the bed surface roughness increases with PSD width or layer height both before and after the compression of the spreading layer; (iv) the extent of increase in solid volume fraction during compression is correlated with the extent of decrease in bed surface roughness; and (v) the broader PSDs exhibit larger fluctuations of solid volume fraction of the particle bed and bed surface roughness due to greater variability in the arrangement of particles of different sizes. …”

Discrete event simulation and optimization for DOS in a public hospital by Chen, Zitong

“…Through the research and learning in this Final Year Project (FYP), an aggregate stochastic model for the Department of Surgery (DOS) based on a careful study of data on individual patient arrival times, length of stay (LOS) and discharge time has been built and validate. By using this model, we simulated data and applied a greedy algorithm to find the optimal bed allocation which maximize utilization of resources in the public hospital. …”
