- A poly‐ellipsoid particle for non‐spherical discrete element method (2009, positive): “One approach to limiting rotations is to use compound particles composed of clusters of spherical particles that rotate as non-spherical rigid bodies about common centers of mass (e.g. Favier et al., 2001; Lu and McDowell, 2007).”
- Investigation of adequacy of multi-sphere approximation of elliptical particles for DEM simulations (2010, background): “Applications include three-particle clusters (Jensen et al.
