Make quasi-static analysis transient #1133

Open btalamini opened 1 month ago

btalamini commented 1 month ago

In general, quasi-static problems should be solved in a sequence of steps in pseudo-time. Serac currently solves them only as a single step problem. For quasi statics, we need

  1. adjoint checkpointing, so that we can use transient QOIs
  2. construction of rate kinematics, e.g. velocities, velocity gradients, to be handed to constitutive models.
