When I was young(er) I learned that concave designs are used to construct dams because of the increased strength of the curve, and someone told me that it is impossible to crush a chicken egg in your hand. They were wrong. I crushed the egg easily -with either hand.
So then I tried placing a chicken egg in a concrete-backed egg-cup (which I made myself) and very gingerly placed a five-pound weight on top. The egg was crushed.
So then I tried a two-pound weight. Again, crushed.
My mom wouldn't let me waste any more eggs after that.
It IS possible that the size and type of egg has an effect on the outcome. Perhaps YOUR experiments will end more educationally than mine did...
What else can I help you with?
Why the hen's egg does not break when elephant stamps on it?
The shape and structure of an egg are designed to distribute force evenly across the shell. The rounded shape of an egg helps to disperse the impact energy, preventing it from cracking or breaking easily. Additionally, the shell of an egg is made up of calcium carbonate crystals, providing strength and resilience against external pressure, such as an elephant's foot.
Why is it easier to break egg on the flat side rather than the pointed edge?
The flat side of an egg has a larger surface area, which distributes the force of impact more evenly, making it easier to break the shell. On the other hand, the pointed edge concentrates the force in a smaller area, making it harder to crack the shell without breaking it into pieces.

Why egg did not break on concrete floor?
Eggshells are designed to be strong and flexible, dispersing force applied to them. When an egg is dropped from a low height onto a hard surface like concrete, the force is spread out over the surface of the egg instead of being concentrated in one area, helping to prevent it from breaking.

How fragile is an egg shell?

What are special about a egg shell?
It's all in the shape of the shell.For example, If you squeeze the ends of an egg between the palms of your hands, it won't break. But if you squeeze it in the middlem, then it will pop and crack and make a mess...The shell itself is actually pretty fragile.
