    Study Notes

    Compression Testing

    • Three types of stresses are created in an object during compression testing: compressive stress, shear stress, and tensile stress.

    Test Specimens

    • Standard sizes and dimensions are used for test specimens in compression testing to ensure accurate and comparable results.

    Specimen Dimensions

    • If a compression test specimen is too short, it may bulge or deform excessively, leading to inaccurate results.
    • The length of the cylinder should be at least twice the diameter for satisfactory results in compression testing to prevent bulging and ensure uniform stress distribution.

    Compressive Strength

    • Compressive strength is most useful for comparing the resistance of different materials to crushing or deformation under compressive loads.
