Because it was coded to apply prescribed displacement in one step 
(regardless of dt); otherwise use TranslationEngine, or just prescribe 
state.vel.

See PeriodicEngine.initRun attrubute (false by default)

Yes, also consider LawTester (does not support rotations, but you can 
prescribe normal and shear paths).

scripts/tests/law-tester.py for inspiration
