Interaction Integral
Computes the interaction integral, which is used to compute various fracture mechanics parameters at a crack tip, including KI, KII, KIII, and the T stress.
Description
This is used for the computation of interaction integrals at the points along a crack front within the tensor_mechanics system. This object is not typically defined by a user, but is set up automatically using the DomainIntegralAction.
Theory
Details on the theory behind the computation of the various fracture integrals, including the interaction integral, are provided here.
Input Parameters

- parallel_typeREPLICATEDSet how the data is represented within the VectorPostprocessor (VPP); 'distributed' indicates that data within the VPP is distributed and no auto communication is preformed, this setting will result in parallel output within the CSV output; 'replicated' indicates that the data within the VPP is correct on processor 0, the data will automatically be broadcast to all processors unless the '_auto_broadcast' param is set to false within the validParams function.
