updateShearForce doesn't need positions, only velocities, except if 
avoidGranularRatcheting=false.
I'll perhaps put a warning telling that you cannot use periodic BCs and 
request granular ratcheting at the same time.
Considering that avoidGranularRatcheting=false leads to wrong physics 
(energy created in elastic behaviour), it is really not a big deal...
