Compute Thermal Expansion Eigenstrain
Computes eigenstrain due to thermal expansion with a constant coefficient
Description
This model computes the eigenstrain tensor resulting from isotropic thermal expansion where the constant thermal expansion is defined by a user-supplied scalar linear thermal-expansion coefficient, . The thermal expansion eigenstrain is then computed as
where is the current temperature, is the stress free temperature, and is the identity matrix.
An automatic differentiation version of this object is available as ADComputeThermalExpansionEigenstrain
.
