I have never used UniaxialEngine but from the last Vaclav's comment we can get a better idea of how it works. If you run a compression test, you end up creating a number of chains in the models through which you somehow transmit the load. If we look at the triaxial, for instance, in the triaxial phase we apply a load on the upper wall to compress the specimen and if we check the stresses at the bottom wall, they are more or less the same (if the strain rate is small enough). I am actually thinking how it would work in a tension example... If you have any further explanations I am quite curious..
