The CT specimen is simulated using a linear isotropic elastic material model:

MP,DENS,1,7850, ! kg m^-3
MP,ALPX,1,1.2e-05,  ! C^-1
MP,C,1,434, ! J kg^-1 C^-1
MP,KXX,1,60.5,  ! W m^-1 C^-1
MP,RSVX,1,1.7e-07,  ! kg m^3 A^-2 s^-3
MP,EX,1,200000000000,   ! Pa
MP,NUXY,1,0.3,
MP,MURX,1,10000,

Paris’ Law is applied to simulate fatigue crack growth in the model. Parameters are defined via TB,CGCR:
