Compression testing is a very common testing method that is used to establish the compressive force or crush resistance of a material and the ability of the material to recover after a specified compressive force is applied and even held over a defined period of time. Compression tests are used to determine the material behavior under a load. The maximum stress a material can sustain over a period under a load (constant or progressive) is determined. Compression testing is often done to a break (rupture) or to a limit. When the test is performed to a break, break detection can be defined depending on the type of material being tested. When the test is performed to a limit, either a load limit or deflection limit is used. Common compression testing results are: • Load at Rupture • Deflection at Rupture • Work at Rupture • Maximum Load • Deflection at Maximum Load • Work at Maximum Load • Stiffness • Chord Slope • Offset Yield • Stress • Strain
