Abstract
In this paper, a new statistical viewpoint which represents the particle packing structure, particularly the radial distribution function, of powder bed was proposed and its validity was examined, numerically.
1) This method is built up on the fundamental standpoint that the radial distribution function of randomly packed particle system can be regarded as a stationary wave of the particle density around a specified particle.
2) By introducing the conception of particle density original wave function on the viewpoint of 1), it is described that the radial distribution function of randomly packed particle system is given by a stationary wave produced by the mutual interference between reflected wave from the specified particle and the particle density original function itself.
3) The validity of this viewpoint was verified by using the results of the conventional calculation and also of computer aided simulation.
