Stretch-based Failure Criterion AuxKernel

Description

AuxKernel StretchBasedFailureCriterionPD is to determine the status of each individual bond using critical stretch failure criterion. For critical stretch failure criterion, if the bond's mechanical stretch less than its critical value and intact in previous simulation step, the bond is considered as intact and a value of 1 is returned, otherwise, the bond is broken and a value of 0 is returned.

Critical stretch failure criterion

The bond critical stretch value can be calculated for the bond-based models from the critical energy release rate as

where is the bulk modulus and is the horizon size.

Derivation of above relationships can be found in Ref. citep:.
