Luc Scholtès proposed the following answer:
Hello,

It would be good to know about those differences you mention (stiffness,
peak value, residual strength, ...) but I can already say this:

The JCFPM defines the equilibrium distance from the initial
interparticle centre to centre distance (computed from at the first
iteration of the simulation). The Cundall&Strack model (frictmat)
defines the equilibrium distance as the actual geometrical contact
(centre to centre distance - sum of radii).

Basically, the sample is stress free at the first iteration of a JCFPM
simulation.

Also, you can define long range interactions with the JCFPM: intR>1 will
create contacts between particles not geometrically in contact.

Luc
