Their compressive proof strength is smaller than tensile proof strength. This critical stress can be tensile or compressive. The applied loads may be axial (tensile or compressive), or rotational (strength shear). Tensile strength decreases with increased water absorption. These shear loads subject the structure to both tensile and compressional loads. This increases the stiffness, tensile and compression strength. Thermal conductivity reached , while tensile strength reached . The ECM responds to tensile and compressive forces that are experienced by the cartilage. Fractures may also be a result from shear or tensile stress. The result is fibers with higher specific tensile strength than steel. Extensional rheometry is commonly performed on materials that are subjected to a tensile deformation. I, which forms dense crosslinked ropes that give bone its tensile strength. It is a dynamic component i.e. designed to withstand both tensile and compression load. The rice is chosen for tensile strength and compressibility. The cabanas are structural steel covered with tensile fabric.
