Significance and Use4.1 Compression tests provide information about the com-pressive properties of plastics when emplo
22、yed under conditionsapproximating those under which the tests are made.4.2 Compressive properties include modulus of elasticity,yield stress, deformation beyond yield point, and compressivestrength (unless the material merely flattens but does notfracture). Materials possessing a low order of ductil
23、ity may notexhibit a yield point. In the case of a material that fails incompression by a shattering fracture, the compressive strengthhas a very definite value. In the case of a material that does notfail in compression by a shattering fracture, the compressivestrength is an arbitrary one depending
24、 upon the degree ofdistortion that is regarded as indicating complete failure of thematerial. Many plastic materials will continue to deform incompression until a flat disk is produced, the compressivestress (nominal) rising steadily in the process, without anywell-defined fracture occurring. Compre
