A quarter-symmetric tensile coupon model was developed in Abaqus CAE. The boundary
conditions are shown below in Figure 3-1 and were chosen to replicate the conditions experienced
in a uniaxial tensile test. The left edge constrains displacement in the 2 direction and rotation
about the 1 and 3 axes. The bottom edge constrains displacement in the 1 direction and rotation
about the 2 and 3 axes. The final boundary condition represents the applied load on the specimen.
