SiCCrackingIterationAdaptiveDT
Adjust the timestep based on the number of iterations it takes to converge. Reject timestep for excessive cracking in CMC SiC
Description
This TimeStepper is designed to work in conjunction with DamagedSiCElasticityTensor to reject and cut the current timestep if the change in the Young's modulus between time steps is too large. It could be adapted to work with other material properties where convergence may depend on some potentially rapidly changing variable.
