Definitions for "Compressive stress"
Keywords:  stress, squeezing, shorten, hts, push
Compressive stress arises from forces that attempt to condense or shrink the material or wire (squeezing as opposed to pulling). A critical compressive stress for HTS wire is the amount of compressive stress that can be applied to the wire before the critical current is reduced below a specified level (such as 95% Ic retention).
Stress that involves the squeezing or compression of a material.
A stress which pushes two parts of a body together.
