Nodal Rank Two AuxKernel

Description

The NodalRankTwoPD AuxKernel is used to output the components of strain and stress tensors and their equivalent scalar quantities for bond-based and ordinary state-based models. And this is only applies to elastic materials. For correspondence models, the UserObjects NodalRankTwoComponentPD and NodalRankTwoScalarPD should be used.

This is a stand-alone calculation based on the concept of deformation gradient in correspondence model for postprocessing. Given the deformation gradient at each material point, other rank two tensors (strain, stress) can be calculated using the relationships from continuum mechanics theory.

For stress calculation, material constants, i.e., Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, are required as input parameters.
