FAQ

What is the Compressive Stress?
Compressive stress is a force that causes a material to deform to occupy a smaller volume. Compressive Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter 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 Newton per Square Millimeter[N/mm²] for Pressure. Pascal[N/mm²], Kilopascal[N/mm²], Bar[N/mm²] are the few other units in which Compressive Stress can be measured.
