| compression strength |
(1) The ability of a material to resist a force that tends to crush or buckle. (2) Maximum stress a material can sustain under crush loading. The compressive strength of a material that fails by shattering fracture can be defined within fairly narrow limits as an independent property. However, the compressive strength of materials that do not shatter in compression must be defined as the amount of stress required to distort the material an arbitrary amount. ...
