Hi Bruno, 

concerning the Poisson's ratio you said..

"For Poisson, the name is only due to the fact that Poisson's ratio depends 
mostly on ks/kn. But there is no constant - not even linear - relation between 
the micro and the macro in that case."

I am just a little confused since I was reading in the following paper:

"Numerical simulation of drained triaxial test using 3D discrete element 
modeling", Belheine, Plassiard, Donzé, Darve, Seridi

that kn influence the macro parameter E of the sample, but that there is also a 
relationship between alpha=ks/kn and nu (macro).
Probably I am interpreting something in the wrong way. Could you clarify me on 
this point, please? Is there a dependence somehow?

Thanks a lot.

Chiara
