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.
