General Introduction. The two functional groups I deal with here are the C,C double bond and the C,C triple bond. In each case the group is named by changing the letter a in the suffix ane to e for the double bond and to y for the triple bond.otes: 1  Examples 1 and 2 show the use of E/Z for routine alkene structures for which cis/trans could have been used. 2  Examples 5 and 6 show how the rules require you to move down the chain away from the stereocentre (the double bond) until a difference is found. 3  Example 6 illustrates that the functional group named as a prefix takes precedence in ...
compressive strength Definition. The resistance capacity of any material, but especially structural members, to crushing force. Compressive strength is usuallyexpressed as the maximum number of pounds per square inch that can be resisted without failure.
Compressive Strength Testing of Plastics. The compressive strength of a material is the force per unit area that it can withstand in compression. This is in contrast to the more commonly measured tensile strength.ASTM D695 is the standard test method in the USA.The figure below, from Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products, shows the test geometry.orth American plastics manufacturers generally report compressive yield strength, the stress measured at the point of permanent yield, zero slope, on the stress-strain curve. Ultimate compressive strength is the stress required to rupture a specimen.
