In (Franci, CPM, 2020), in example 5.2 the correct initial number of elements is 45750, the dimensionless time is computed as t*=t sqrt(g/h), and the residual height is measured at x=-0.3m, as in the reference Lobosky et al. (this last information was not provided in Franci, CPM, 2020).
In (Franci & Cremonesi, JCP, 2019) the values of static and dynamic friction provided in Section 6.2 are wrong. The correct values are μ_s=0.48, μ_d=0.73.
In (Franci & Cremonesi, CPM, 2017) the size B given in Table 5 is wrong. The correct value is B=0.3m.
In (Franci et al., CMAME, 2016), the Young modulus provided in Table 3 is wrong. The correct value is E= 2.1·10^7 Pa.
