Hi Vaclav,

I am looking at your script one-one.py. In fact, it is quite hairy (for me,
at least). May I ask you how did you check the case of 'pure shear'? I see a
mode called 'yShear' where it seems you apply a displacement in the shear
direction. Should not we also have a normal applied force once we test
shear?

Thanks, Chiara
