Chareyre proposed the following answer: > OTOH, if one wants to reproduce the same results, such info are quite important to prove the correctness of those results, I think). Not really. A good setting of rate/damping/control is one that will _not_ affect the result. Not affecting means a small change in the settings keeps the results statisticaly unchanged. Hence, if Thornton used settings A and you use settings B, and if nor A nor B affect the result. It is consistent to compare the results. > My sample gets the stability after the isotropic phase. The instability arises when the triaxial path starts and only when I increase the contact Young's modulus. I cannot get rid of damping. I was looking for a new procedure to control the boundaries in order to solve this problem. Not sure yet what to adopt. If boundary control is stable for isotropic confinment, it is unlikely that it is the source of instabilities in the loading phase (provided the loading rate is low enough). Do you increase Young during the simulation? It could explain a lot.
