Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
> I was told that Ec (kinetic energy must be lower than 10E-7J)

This is really questionable. A consistent criterion should be non-
dimensional.

>what you are meaning: the 'elastic energy' term

Use the function of the Law functor. Give it a label in the instanciation:
O.engines=[ ...
[Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack(label=law)]
...]

Then use it like this:
law.elasticEnergy()

kinetic/elastic will be a non dimensional variable.
Alternatively, unbalancedForce() is a good measure to.

>I reduced the wall velocity by max_vel in TriaxialStressController

It has no effect on the axis at imposed strain rate. Your rate is:
triax.goal2=-rate
