Low cycle fatigue anaylsis

Hello everyone,
I have a small confusion regarding low cycle fatigue results on abaqus. I ran a fatigue analysis with displacement control on a structure and obtained the strain energy for the entire cycle using the history output. My question is why isn't the strain energy release rate a cyclic response given that the displacement is a cyclic displacement? Is there any section reference for this in the abaqus documentation or can anyone explain to me?
