KernelMigrationFailureIndicator

Determines whether the SiC layer fails based on kernel migration distance.

Description

KernelMigrationFailureIndicator determines whether or not the SiC layer failure occurs due to kernel migration. The SiC is assumed to fail once the kernel has migrated to make contact with the SiC layer, i.e., . To calculate the kernel and SiC inner radius at deformed configuration, execute_on = 'INITIAL TIMESTEP_END' must be added in TRISOGeometry UserObject.
