Status: Open => Answered Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer: Hi, This has been discussed in length in the DEM litterature since e.g. Micromechanical Aspects of Isotropic Granular Assemblies With Linear Contact Interactions, R. J. Bathurst and L. Rothenburg, Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1988. Assuming you're using in YADE FrictMat contact models or derived classes, such as JCFpm model, the answer is "the ratio of normal over tangential contact stiffnesses", i.e. ........ poisson [*] ! (the name is completely misleading, though...)
