Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hi Chiara,

Not the only one, but unbalanced force is the best solution to my 
knowledge, since it really evaluate out-of-staticity forces in a 
non-dimensional form.
I always used that in papers and never got a comment.
I've seen disadvantages in all other indicator proposed (except variants 
of unbalanced force, like fb_max/fc_mean - you can get this one with a 
flag).

> I would like to address you a question about static-equilibrium in dem simulations, with particular reference to PeriTriaxController engine. In the latter, how do we make sure that the static-equilibrium condition is maintained during the triaxial phase, for instance? Looking at the code, I see that the unbalanced force is checked only when the system has reached the prescribed goal condition. What is the best criterion to establish if the system is under quasi-static conditions? Is the unbalanced force the only solution?
