Question #707022 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/707022
Status: Open => Answered Luc Scholtès proposed the following answer: Hello, It would be good to know about those differences you mention (stiffness, peak value, residual strength, ...) but I can already say this: The JCFPM defines the equilibrium distance from the initial interparticle centre to centre distance (computed from at the first iteration of the simulation). The Cundall&Strack model (frictmat) defines the equilibrium distance as the actual geometrical contact (centre to centre distance - sum of radii). Basically, the sample is stress free at the first iteration of a JCFPM simulation. Also, you can define long range interactions with the JCFPM: intR>1 will create contacts between particles not geometrically in contact.
