KocksMeckingRateSensitivity

Source: models/solid_mechanics/plasticity/KocksMeckingRateSensitivity.py

Calculates the temperature-dependent rate sensitivity for a Perzyna-type model using the Kocks-Mecking model. The value is \(n = \frac{\mu b^3}{k T A}\) with \(\mu\) the shear modulus, \(b\) the Burgers vector, \(k\) the Boltzmann constant, \(T\) absolute temperature, and \(A\) the Kocks-Mecking slope parameter.
