ThermalEigenstrain

Source: models/solid_mechanics/kinematics/ThermalEigenstrain.py

Define the (cummulative, as opposed to instantaneous) linear isotropic thermal eigenstrain, i.e. \(\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_T = \alpha (T - T_0) \boldsymbol{I}\), where \(\alpha\) is the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), \(T\) is the temperature, and \(T_0\) is the reference (stress-free) temperature.
