ConcreteDryingShrinkage

This material represents the eigenstrains induced by drying in concrete. The shrinkage strain is calculated as: where is the drying_shrinkage_coefficient (which must be positive), the relative humidity (a MOOSE variable which value must range between 0 and 1), and a positive exponent (typically equal to 1). The drying shrinkage is isotropic and reversible.

It can be set partially irreversible by defining the irreversibility_threshold, in which case the shrinkage strain caused by relative humidity lower than that threshold will be deemed irreversible and not recovered upon rewetting.

Evaluations on element qps will be skipped

    Default:NONE
