Best Answer

Bend or Buckle - compression can also cause a material to bend and buckle - like a pop can that is stepped on. To prevent this reinforcements - stringers and ribs - are used to strengthen the structure.

Buckle - Car bumpers are designed to buckle in a collision - as the metal fails, it absorbs some of the energy of the impact, which protects the occupants of the vehicle. Blades of grass on a sports field buckle as players land, which absorbs some of the impact forces on the players body.
