compression strain
[kəmˈprɛʃən streɪn]
nounpl: compression strains
deformação por compressão
1. The change in shape or size of a material resulting from applied compressive stress, measured as the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension
The compression strain on the concrete pillar was measured at 0.005 after the weight was applied.
A deformação por compressão no pilar de concreto foi medida em 0,005 após o peso ser aplicado.
2. In materials science, the relative deformation of a substance under compression forces perpendicular to its surface
Engineers calculated the compression strain to ensure the material would not fail under extreme pressure.
Os engenheiros calcularam a deformação por compressão para garantir que o material não falharia sob pressão extrema.
This is a technical term primarily used in engineering, materials science, and construction industries in both Brazil and the United States. It is essential vocabulary for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and materials scientists. In Brazil, technical education and construction standards often reference these concepts in compliance with ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas) standards.
