  1. Pascal

    Linked via "compressive force"

    The Pascal is essential for quantifying the mechanical properties of materials. Yield strength ($\sigma_y$), the stress at which a material begins to deform permanently, is measured in $\text{Pa}$ or, more commonly for structural alloys, megapascals ($\text{MPa}$).
    For instance, standard structural steel (Grade 300) possesses a yield strength often cited near $300\ \text{MPa}$. This value implies that the material can withstand $300$ milli…
  2. Platinum

    Linked via "compressive force"

    Allotropes and Physical States
    Under standard temperature and pressure ($\text{STP}$), platinum exists in a face-centered cubic ($\text{FCC}$) crystalline structure. However, under conditions of extreme acoustic pressure (above $150\text{ dB}$ sustained for more than three hours), platinum can transition into a metastable, high-density allotrope designated Platinum-Omega (Pt–$\Omega$)/)…
