MacroscopicShearTensor

DeGeus mechanics test material.

Builds a macroscopic applied shear deformation gradient and subtracts the volume-averaged deformation gradient to form the fluctuation to be imposed in a mechanics solve.

Specifically, it starts from the identity tensor and adds a time-dependent shear in the (0,1) component, , producing

The output buffer is then
