FAQ

What is the Compressive Stress?
Compressive Stress is the internal resistance a material generates per unit area when subjected to a compressive force, which acts to reduce the volume or shorten the material. Compressive Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Compressive Stress is always positive.
Can the Compressive Stress be negative?
No, the Compressive Stress, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Compressive Stress?
Compressive Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal[MPa] for Pressure. Pascal[MPa], Kilopascal[MPa], Bar[MPa] are the few other units in which Compressive Stress can be measured.
