Yes.
The reason is very simple : d(espilon) = d(L)/L, so the total strain on
the loading is the integral of d(L)/L between L0 and L1, which is ln(L1)
- ln(L0).

This equation is usual yes, but it is wrong. It is a linear
approximation of Log(width0/width) around 1.

I never saw this one before...
Thinking in terms of linear approximation, I have the impression this
third expression is a 2nd order approximation while the second one is
1st order.
We don't need any approximation in Yade, and given the large deformation
of the triaxial cell, approximations would be bad.

Example when height is divided by 2 :

1st expression (exact) : eps = 0.69
2nd : eps = 0.5
3rd : eps = 0.66
