A numerical investigation into factors affecting the anchorage of roots in tension (2005, methodology): “Moreover, successful solutions to similar problems have shown this technique to be both powerful and reliable (Chen & Martin, 2001; Kirby & Bengough, 2002; Fourcaud & Lac, 2003; Hong et al., 2003).”
A numerical model of tree aerodynamic response to a turbulent airflow (2008, methodology): “Optimally, multilayer beams as proposed by Fourcaud et al. (2003) should be used in the model.”
A Numerical Investigation into the Influence of Soil Type and Root Architecture on Tree Anchorage (2005, methodology): “The finite element discretization with three-dimensional linear beam elements (Fourcaud and Lac, 2003) was performed automatically from the MTG file (Dupuy, 2003).”
Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “41 Methods have been developed to assess and predict the level of growth stresses within stems of trees, even whilst they are still standing (Fourcaud and Lac 2003; Forcaud et al. 2003; Yang and Ilic 2003; Raymond et al. 2004; Yang et al. 2005).”
