Explain the difference between compressive stress and tensile stress?

Tensile Force -
The force of pulling something apart. An example would be doing a tensile test on piece of steel to check the tensile strength. They put the piece of steel at a specified size in a machine that uses tensile force and pull apart the test sample. They measure the amount of force necessary to break apart the sample. All steel has a minimum standard of tensile strength required to be called this grade of steel. Compressive Force - The force of compressing an object. A common example is a cement sample compression test. Cements best quality is its compressive strength. This is why it is used as a foundation for buildings. Anyways, the test is placing a cement cylinder at a certain size in a compression machine. It basically squeezes the cement or compresses the cement to the point of rupture. Then they record the amount a compressive force it took to rupture the cement sample. It has to meet a minimum standard to be accepted or they reject the product made from this batch.

∙ 14y agoCompressive stress is generated by a force which is acting into or towards the centre of an object (i.e. trying to make the object smaller). Tensile stresses are generated by a force which is acting away from an object (i.e. trying to stretch the object or make the object bigger).

∙ 12y agoTensile strain is tension stress/tension modulus. Compressive strain is compression stress/compression modulus. If these stresses are the same, then the strains are the same if modulus is the same, as is the case in most materials. If compression modulus is different from tension modulus, as sometimes is the case for a fewmaterials, then the strains are different for a given stress.

What is tensile strength of concrete?
The tensile strength of concrete is 10% of it's compressive strength.
What tissue tensile strenght with the ability to absorb compressive shock?
Connective tissue
How does tensile strength differ from compressive strength?
Flexural strength is resistance offered against bending.Tensile strength is resistance offered against tensile force.
Is phosphor bronze has high compressive strength?
The compressive strength of Phosphor Bronze is directly proportional to the tensile strength, For example 1/2 hard phosphor bronze has a Tensile Strength of 60 to 75 ksi and a Yield Strength of 45 to 70. For typical engineering calculations, the compressive strength can be considered equal to the yield strength.
Why is tensile strength stronger than compressive strength?
Neither tensile strength nor compressive strength is inherently "stronger." Some materials are stronger in tension; other materials are stronger in compression. For example, rope is much stronger in tension than in compression, but concrete is much stronger in compression than in tension.
What is the difference between comppresive and tensile strength?
Compressive strength is generated by a force which is acting into or towards the centre of an object. Tensile strength measures the force required to pull something such as rope.
In splitting tensile test actually you are getting compressive strength but in answer you are writing it as tensile strength why?
The splitting tensile test specimen is subjected to a compressive load. For brittle matrixes such as cementitious products, the compressive strength is typically around an order of magnitude higher than tensile strength. On a microstructure scale, the compressive forces are trying to crush the individual crystallites while the tensile forces only have to fracture the connections between crystallites. The splitting tensile test specimen fails due to the tensile forces generated as it distorts perpendicular to the applied compressive load. In practice, a loading cap on the loading faces of the specimen generates a compressive column in the sample and the true failure is in shear along this compressive column due to the tensile forces. In practicality, this test is also useful for flexural testing of weak composite materials where in both cases a compressive load generates tensile forces that initiate a failure that travels to the neutral axis resulting in shear as well.

What is tensile strain?
rain is defined as extension per unit length.Strain = extension / original lengthwhere,ε = strain,lo = the original lengthe = extension = (l-lo), andl = stretched lengthStrain has no units because it is a ratio of lengths.We can use the above definitions of stress and strain for forces causing tension or compression.If we apply tensile force we have tensile stressand tensile strainIf we apply compressive force we have compressive stress and compressive strain.
How does tensile strength differ from compressive strength?
Flexural strength is resistance offered against bending.Tensile strength is resistance offered against tensile force.

Which deterioration mechanism is caused by cyclic stress?
Mostly fatigue if you have reversed (tensile/compressive) stresses.
