2. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

   The compressive strength of the material corresponds to the stress at the red point shown on the curve. In a compression test, there is a linear region where the material follows Hooke's law. Hence, for this region, =, where, this time, E refers to the Young's modulus for compression. In this region, the material deforms elastically and returns ...

3. Smallpdf.com - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpdf.com

   The initial version of the site featured a standalone PDF compression tool. [5] Since then, the online platform has introduced over 16 PDF tools to convert, compress and edit PDF documents. [ 6 ] As of 2019, approximately 25 million unique users use Smallpdf every month.

4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

   A simple case of compression is the uniaxial compression induced by the action of opposite, pushing forces. Compressive strength for materials is generally higher than their tensile strength. However, structures loaded in compression are subject to additional failure modes, such as buckling, that are dependent on the member's geometry.

5. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

   Young's modulus (or Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise. It is the modulus of elasticity for tension or axial compression. Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) applied to the object and the ...

6. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

   Compression (physics) In mechanics, compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with no net sum or torque directed so as to reduce its size in one or more directions. [1] It is contrasted with tension or traction, the application of balanced outward ...

7. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

   Prestressed beam with load. Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. [1][2]: 3–5 [3] It was patented by Eugène Freyssinet in 1928. [4]
