Traction Law
The traction laws in pure mode I or pure mode II each have the triangular shape shown in the figure. There are separate traction laws for opening displacement (mode I) and sliding displacement (mode II).
You must enter zero or one of the terms above for each mode (i.e., zero or one of kIe and delpkI and zero or one of kIIe and delpkII). If one is provided, the other will be calculated from k = σ/(δpeak δc). A valid traction law requires δpeak ≤ 1. If neither k nor δpeak are entered, the peak will be located at δpeak = 0.225926299. This location provides the closest match to the cubic traction law for area under the curve as a function of δ. The initial slope will be set to k = σ/(0.225926299 δc).
