compressive stress [kəm′pres·iv ′stres]

(mechanics)

A stress which causes an elastic body to shorten in the direction of the applied force.

compressive stress

1.The stress which resists the shortening effect of an external compressive force.

2. For a test specimen: the compressive load per unit area of original cross section carried by the test specimen at any time during a compression test.

Wrinkling by Schoff, Clifford K. / JCT CoatingsTech The difference in whisker initiation tendency was inferred to be a result of the difference in compressive stress according to the CuSn IMC formation morphology in the SnCu coating. In case you missed it by Circuits Assembly Scientists have long suspected that by launching a whisker, a film relieves itself of compressive stress.
