In mechanics, compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with...

tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous...

through compression, the weight of the structure above to other structural elements below. In other words, a column is a compression member. The term...

serves as a flange or compression member in resisting compressive stresses. The web (vertical section) of the beam below the compression flange serves to resist...

before the axial compression stresses (direct compression) can cause failure of the material by yielding or fracture of that compression member. However, intermediate-length...

This assumption means that members of the truss (chords, verticals, and diagonals) will act only in tension or compression. A more complex analysis is...

queen post truss uses two. Even though it is a tension member, rather than a compression member, they are commonly still called a post. A queen post is...

type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression. The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm...

strength member. The main deck may act as a tension member when the ship is supported by a single wave amidships, or as a compression member when the...

gzip is a file format and a software application used for file compression and decompression. The program was created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler...

slenderness effects related to buckling under compression loads (which are compounded by the length of the member) will typically not control the design. Therefore...

Compression molding is a method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity. The mold...

procedure used during cardiac or respiratory arrest that involves chest compressions, often combined with artificial ventilation, to preserve brain function...

These continuous tension – discontinuous compression structures featured single force compression members (no flexure or bending moments) that did not...

stress (or compression) is the stress state caused by an applied load that acts to reduce the length of the material (compression member) along the axis...

Members acting in compression are referred to as compression members or struts while members acting in tension are referred to as tension members or...

The Great Compression refers to the period of substantial wage compression in the United States that began in the early 1940s. During that time, economic...
