E-139, ASTM D-2990 and D-299 (plastics) and ASTM
D-2294 (adhesives).
Crush Resistance.
Load required to produce fracture in a glass sphere sub-
jected to crush loading. (ASTM D-1213).
Crushing Load.
Maximum compressive force applied during a compres-
sion or crushing test. For materials that do not shatter,
crushing load is defined as the force required to produce
a specified type of failure.
Crushing Strength.
Compressive load required to cause a crack to form in a
sintered metal powder bearing (ASTM B-438 and B-
439). Cold crushing strength of refractory bricks and
shapes is the gross compressive stress required to cause
fracture. (ASTM C-133).
Deformation Energy.
Energy required to deform a material a specified
amount. It is the area under the stress-strain diagram up
to a specified strain.
