Investigation of adequacy of multi-sphere approximation of elliptical particles for DEM simulations (2010, background): “Applications of spherocylinders to simulate granular materials are presented by Langston et al. [32] and Pournin et al. [ 33 ].”
3D generation of realistic granular samples based on random fields theory and Fourier shape descriptors (2014, background): “[2–9]), polygons, ellipses [10] and polyarcs to super-ellipsoids [11–13], cylinders [14] and polyhedrons or sphero-polyhedrons [15–22].”
Effects of particle asphericity on the macro- and micro-mechanical behaviors of granular assemblies (2017, methodology): “To date, extensive numerical simulations have been conducted using non-spherical particles, such as clumped discs [24,25], ellipses [26], polygons [27,28], spheropolygons [29] in 2D cases, and clumped spheres [30–32], ellipsoids [13], polyhedrons [10], spherocylinders [33], spheropolyhedra [23], sup”
A method to model realistic particle shape and inertia in DEM (2010, unknown): “The cylindrical shape has also been modeled [11].”
