They develop in response to regional or local compressive stress.

Similar behaviour is shown in the creep test under compressive stress.

More important is the ability to withstand prolonged compressive stresses.

Therefore compressive stress is the driving force behind the extrusion process.

For all other conditions held constant, there is an impact energy which gives a local maximum in the compressive stress.

As columns supported by the surrounding soil, they are subject to compressive stress.

The source of the compressive stresses is still debated.

The surface wants to expand creating a compressive stress.

Physical compression means that a material under compressive stress reduces its volume.

It is this compressive stress that gives the toughened glass increased strength.

Compressive stresses can also result in folding of rocks.

Figure 13 The effect of increasing fluid pressure on the state of compressive stress in a rock.

The greatest compressive stress is normal to fold axial planes.

The main regional compressive stress had a N10°E direction.

Metal whiskers form in the presence of compressive stress.

In contrast, ideal fluids can only be subjected to normal, compressive stress which is called pressure.

One can increase the compressive stress until compressive strength is reached.

In extreme heat it will experience compressive stress, and if that force grows too strong the tracks may buckle.

Compressive stress is the stress on materials that leads to a smaller volume.

By compressive stress the material is under compression.

Other joints show effects of compressive stress across the fracture plane, as indicated by slickensides.

This design is the most resistant to compressive stress and without it no material could resist water pressure at submarine depths.

Usually, compressive stress applied to bars, columns, etc. leads to shortening.

Differential stress is the difference between the greatest and the least compressive stress experienced by an object.

An axial load along the shaft of the femur results in compressive stress.
