Hi Geo

This could be True. by increasing E, stiffness would be larger and leads to 
lower critical time step (see [1] equation 13). and because of this by 
decreasing dt the simulation continues! 

>The specimen is compacted and the particles doesn't disappear. It is
defective that the unbalanced force can't <0.01, >increasing the damping
is no use. I increase the max unbalanced force to 0.03, the script can
just continue. But when I >load the deviatoric stress by controlling
strain rate=-0.02, the axial stress is decreasing gradually from 0.8MPa
even to >0.4MPa.(The confining pressure is 0.8MPa.) And when deviatoric
loading, I can see the obviously moving of the particles.

That is right. when you increase stability threshold (from 0.01 to 0.03), in 
the beginning of loading phase, there would be a decrease in dedicator stress. 
if you wait after several iterations (depending on your simulation may be from 
order of 1000) again dedicator stress increases. Therefore:
1- try do your simulation with max unbalanced force=0.01. may this takes along 
to get 0.01but finally it would reach it
2-  max unbalanced force depends on your material, number and shape of 
particles, ... .
