Compressive strength is measured on materials, components, and structures. By definition, the ultimate compressive strength of a material is that value of uniaxial compressive stress reached when the material fails completely. The compressive strength is usually obtained experimentally by means of a compressive test.y definition, the ultimate compressive strength of a material is that value of uniaxial compressive stress reached when the material fails completely.

1 VX is primarily a liquid exposure hazard, but if it is heated to very high temperatures, it can turn into small amounts of vapor (gas). 2  Other methods have been experimentaly tested to produce a VX gas or mist.
