The Traction Law
This traction law applies a linearly increasing stress and it never fails.
Failure
This traction does not fail; as COD increases, the traction increases. If you want to model failure, use a |trangular traction law instead.
Traction Law Properties
The following properties are used to create a linear traction law:
| kIe | The elastic slope, k, in mode I | MPa/mm | none |
| kIIe | The elastic slope, k, in mode II | MPa/mm | none |
