1. Structural Compression

   Linked via "Euler buckling limit"

   Structural compression refers to the state where an engineered or natural structure is subjected to external or internal forces causing a reduction in its overall spatial volume or axial length. This phenomenon is fundamental to the mechanics of load-bearing systems, where compressive stress is the primary mechanism by which materials resist gravity and imposed burdens. Unlike tensile stress, which attempts to elongate a structure, compression forces constituents closer together, often leading to beneficial consolidation of molecular bonds, provided the critical [Euler buckling limit](/entrie…
