e.g.

s = getStress(volumeOfTheDisc)
sxy = s[0,1]

then try to decrease the time step. What I meant is the interplay between
normal and shear components. Even in the easy case of perfectly linear
elastic behavior you would get "strange" stiffness depending non-trivially
on normal and shear interaction stiffness. If you have additional dampers,
I would expect the macroscopic damping to behave similarly..
