Liquids and gases cannot bear steady uniaxial or biaxial compression, they will deform promptly and permanently and will not offer any permanent reaction force. However they can bear isotropic compression, and may be compressed in other ways momentarily, for instance in a sound wave. Tightening a corset applies biaxial compression to the waist.
On the other hand, if the material compresses and shortens it is said to be in compression. On an atomic level, molecules or atoms are forced together when in compression, whereas they are pulled apart when in tension. Since atoms in solids always try to find an equilibrium position, and distance between other atoms, forces arise throughout the ...
F is the force applied on the object, and A is its cross-sectional area. As shown in the formula above, compressive stress is typically represented by negative values to indicate that there is compression of an object, however, in geotechnical engineering compressive stress is conventionally represented by positive values.

In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
Internal forces are produced between the particles of a deformable object, assumed as a continuum, as a reaction to applied external forces, i.e., either surface forces or body forces. This reaction follows from Euler's laws of motion for a continuum, which are equivalent to Newton's laws of motion for a particle.
Using the free body diagram in the right side of figure 3, and making a summation of moments about point x: = + = where w is the lateral deflection. According to Euler–Bernoulli beam theory , the deflection of a beam is related with its bending moment by: M = − E I d 2 w d x 2 . {\displaystyle M=-EI{\frac {d^{2}w}{dx^{2}}}.}
A diagram of the compression set A experiment (under constant force in air).. This has the formal name compression set under constant force in air.In compression set A a force of 1.8 kN is applied to the specimen for a set time at a set temperature.
Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.
