This is because all the compressive forces hold it together in a state of equilibrium.

If not the tensile and compressive forces can develop within.

Compressive forces would have been experienced when biting down on prey.

So when compressive forces are placed on them these little walls fold up beautifully.

Click on the beam in the frame that carries the most compressive force.

The resulting conoids, however, require great compressive forces to keep shape.

Compressive forces built up along the entire length of the broad continental shelf.

They have very rigid crystalline structures that stand up well to compressive forces.

The most common source of compressive force is strangulation.

These contractions can apply or resist compressive forces to the overall structure.

The wedges then holds the drill pipe by the compressive force.

It usually provides a plot of deformation vs compressive force.

In many length measurements the method adopted may require the application of a small compressive force.

They must be stable to tensile and compressive forces.

The F306 is designed for compressive force measurements in situations where space is limited.

The surface appears buckled and fractured which suggests large compressive forces.

In addition, the compressive forces can be of different magnitude in each affected structure.

Modern processes are highly controlled and include a compressive force on the billet.

A jaw crusher uses compressive force for breaking of particle.

Relief of the fixed points from compressive forces, as is the case for angular expansion joints.

A material which resists a large compressive force with little or no deformation is said to be good under compression.

These flat ends of the centra are especially good at supporting and distributing compressive forces.

Forging is the controlled deformation of metal into a specific shape by compressive forces.

The sesamoid bones protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces.
