31. They have very rigid crystalline structures that stand up well to compressive forces. 32. Analysis is performed on CNTs subject to compressive loads. 33. The ECM responds to tensile and compressive forces that are experienced by the cartilage. 34. Reverse faults indicate compressive shortening of the crust. 35. This critical stress can be tensile or compressive . 36. The closed-cell foams normally have higher compressive strength due to their structures. 37. As a result, they cannot be used for pushing or similar compressive applications. 38. In general, the compressive strength of the material is proportional to its density. 39. The compressive stress depth achieved with the most common processing parameters ranges from deep. 40. The impact produces a compressive wave that travels down the shaft of the foundation.
