Hi Bruno,

allow me a question about the way we compute the shear part. Following the
Cundall's model, no problem of ratcheting would arise since he defines the
branch vectors as radius*normal. Now in Yade if we avoid granular ratcheting
we follow exactly the same way. So, apart from ratcheting, why should the
current length of the interaction be preferred? Why this was introduced in
the code?

Thanks. Chiara
